WTI crude oil showed a minor pullback ahead of US CPI data. It hit a high of $78.66 and is currently trading around $78.66.
Markets eye demand outlook from three major agencies like OPEC, IEA, and EIA for further direction. The declining demand from major countries like the US and China prevents oil from further upside.

US dollar index (Bearish)- Positive for Crude. Major resistance - 104.20/105. Major support- 103.40/102.80.
