New Delhi, Mar 18 (PTI) Crude oil futures fell by Rs 24 to Rs 4,014 per barrel Monday as speculators reduced bets amid a weakening trend overseas.

On similar lines, oil for delivery in April moved down by Rs 22, or 0.54 per cent, to Rs 4,051 per barrel in 425 lots.
Marketmen said trading sentiments at futures trade dampened after crude oil prices dipped overseas amid concerns that an economic downturn may dent fuel consumption, but crude markets remain broadly supported by supply cuts led by producer group OPEC and US sanctions against Iran and Venezuela.
