Sequel to the global energy disruption resulting from the Russian-Ukraine war, volatility in oil markets has continued as prices swing from a 9% drop earlier in the week to a 5% jump overnight on Wednesday. Only for the oil market to edge down again early Thursday morning, Commerzbank said in a Thursday note.

Both Brent and West Texas Intermediate have shed up to about 2% again, with Brent trading at around $106 per barrel and WTI priced at $104, the bank said.
