Murphy Oil (MUR) Jumps: Stock Rises 7.7%

Murphy Oil Corporation MUR was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 8% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $4.68–$9.33 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase yesterday.
