WTI oil pulled back as traders waited for additional catalysts. Yesterday, oil prices moved higher amid reports indicating that Russia ordered its oil companies to cut production to comply with OPEC+ targets. However, this move could have been planned many months ago as some Russian refineries are scheduled to shut operations for seasonal maintenance.

The technical picture remains bullish as WTI oil settled above the $80.00 level and is heading towards the recent highs near the $83.00 level.
