In morning trade Thursday, the price of WTI crude oil tumbled, moving back below $61 a barrel and toward the lows hit Wednesday.

Near 12:30 pm ET, oil was still below $61 a barrel, but off its worst levels and bouncing all over the place.

On Wednesday, WTI fell below $60.50, the lowest since 2009, while Brent crude oil also dipped below $65 a barrel. On Thursday morning, WTI touched $60.09.

US stocks followed oil lower on Wednesday, with the Dow falling 268 points and the S&P 500 having its worst day since October. On Thursday, however, US stocks were surging higher with the Dow adding as many as 200 points.
