Oil pulled back from the $80 level despite the API reporting that inventories dropped last week, which indicates larger demand.
Crude inventories fell 3.1mn barrels last week, whilst analysts had expected a drop of 2mn. All eyes will now turn to the weekly oil inventory release this afternoon, and the start of the two day testimony from Bernanke to the Senate.
