Brent Oil to Rebound After ‘Excessive’ Plunge, Commerzbank Says

Brent crude is set to rebound after an “excessive” 8 percent plunge this week, according to Commerzbank AG.

“We expect a counter-movement in the next few days,” Carsten Fritsch, an analyst based in Frankfurt, said in a report. The drop in Brent, trading at $107 a barrel in London today, appears over-done “given that other economic barometers such as equity markets and copper have defended their gains over the same period.”
