Oil rose Friday in Asia following a whipsaw overnight session during which the expiration of options and a mix of news played havoc with prices trading in a range almost $6 wide. During Thursday's session, the front-month crude oil contract dropped as low as $120.75 before bouncing back to finish above $124 a barrel.
"Unless there is a confluence of substantive bearish news, when there is a pullback of something like $5, it's unlikely to stay down because enough participants will see that as a buying opportunity," said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.
