Oil Pulls Back From Seven-Week High as Profit Taking Sets In

Oil prices retreated, sliding from a seven-week high as investors booked profits and weighed prospects of slower winter demand. Brent crude dropped ~0.7% to $68.82/barrel and U.S. crude fell ~0.8%. Analysts flagged returning supply from sources like Iraqi Kurdistan and concerns about weakening global demand as headwinds to further upside.
