The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished Monday’s session little changed but slightly lower, closing down 41.43 points (-0.09%) at 48,416.62 in choppy trade as investors positioned for a data-heavy week and reassessed the durability of the AI-led rally.

NEW YORK — Monday, December 15, 2025 (3:30 p.m. EST) — Crude oil is trading lower in late-afternoon dealings as the market weighs fresh geopolitical supply risks—especially escalating U.S.-Venezuela tensions and operational disruption fears—against an increasingly dominant narrative for 2026: a potential global oil surplus large enough to keep prices capped even when headlines turn more bullish.

Gold prices are trading in the low $4,300s per ounce late Monday afternoon in New York, with investors juggling three competing forces: a softer U.S. dollar and easing yields that typically lift bullion, fading safe-haven urgency tied to progress in Ukraine peace discussions, and a looming slate of U.S. economic releases that could reset expectations for Federal Reserve policy.
