International crude prices 

Crude oil price settles at 68.75 level, showing negative trades by today’s open to hint heading to achieve more expected decline in the upcoming sessions. Overall, the prices were headed for a 3 per cent drop for the week on worries about the outlook for fuel demand after a bigger-than-expected interest rate hike in the UK and warnings about looming US rate hikes. Brent futures slipped 7 cents, or 0.1 per cent, to $74.07 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 11 cents, or 0.2 per cent, at $69.40 at 0026 GMT. 

"Crude oil futures fell about 4% on Thursday, as a bigger-than-expected Bank of England rate hike reignited worries of global economic slowdown and its impact on fuel demand about the economy and outweighed support from a surprise draw in U.S. oil supplies. The Bank of England raised interest rates by a bigger-than-expected half a percentage point to fight stubborn inflation. Higher interest rates could slow economic growth and reduce oil demand. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $68.70–68.00 and resistance at $70.00–70.60 in today’s session. In INR terms, crude oil has support at Rs 5,610-5,540, while resistance is at Rs 5,770–5,840," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
