Glencore Plc shares took a breather after whipsaw swings this week that sent volatility to the highest on record.

The commodity miner and trader advanced 3.2 percent to 93.91 pence by 1:21 p.m. in London, paring this week’s decline to 3.3 percent. An unprecedented 29 percent plunge on Monday was followed by a two-day surge that recovered much of those losses as analysts said the drop had left shares undervalued.
