WTI crude oil settles down $1.21 to $71.77 in volatile day of trading

Oil jumped early, then faded and fell more than $3 at the lows in early New York trade. It’s since rebounded somewhat after fresh Israeli strikes in Iranian threats.

It settled $1.21 lower at $71.77 per barrel.

How it goes will depend on what happens next in the Middle East but no barrels (or very few) have been lost so far.
