Brent oil moved away from session highs and declined below the $80.00 level amid demand worries. U.S. dollar’s pullback, which was triggered by the dovish comments of Fed Chair Powell, did not provide support to the oil markets.

A move below the $80.00 level opens the way to the test of the support at $77.50 – $78.25.
