Crude oil up on strong global cues 17/08/2016 08:47
Crude oil futures closed higher in the domestic market on Tuesday finding support from weakness in the U.S. dollar as traders continued to weigh the likelihood of an output-freeze agreement by major producers next month.
Several analysts have argued that a production cap at a time when producers are pumping at top speed would hardly take enough barrels off the market to make a material difference. Others have expressed skepticism that the 14-member bloc would be able to forge a consensus given the historical tension among some players.
At the MCX, Crude oil futures for August 2016 contract closed at Rs. 3103 per barrel, up by 4.44 per cent
