WTI's slide today - anything more than profit-taking?

Seeing $WTI at 74.27, down over 2%. Is this just a natural pullback after the recent run-up, or are there specific catalysts hitting the wires that I'm missing? Inventory reports weren't overly bearish from what I saw earlier.

I think it's more than profit-taking. There's chatter about a potential increase in Saudi output in the near future, which would obviously put downward pressure on prices. Keep an eye on those headlines.

I'm leaning towards profit-taking myself. The recent climb was quite steep, and a 2% pullback isn't unreasonable at all. No major news catalyst hit my feed today.

Could just be general market jitters too, with everything else going on. Doesn't feel like a fundamental shift just yet, more like a natural correction after the rapid ascent we've seen. Inventory build was pretty minor.
