Crude oil futures fell after approaching seven-week high as investors' confidence was dampened by fresh worries over the Euro Zone's recession. The ECB deposit facility's use hit a new record high of EUR453.1 billion on Tuesday, indicating banks' unwillingness for interbank lending. Light, sweet crude oil futures for February delivery traded at USD102.59 a barrel at the early European trade, on the New York Mercantile Exchange, easing down 0.35%.
