Investors know how volatile the commodities markets can be. When it comes to crude oil futures, it is a whole new ballgame with intraday as well as overnight volatility.
For example, based on Monday’s range ($86.82-$92.10), the price fluctuation on one contract is $5,280. That does not include all the intraday fluctuations that can result in $1,000-$2,000 moves in minutes.
