Oil Price Now: WTI Near $56 and Brent Around $60 at 3:30 PM EST (Dec 15, 2025) as Venezuela Risks Clash With 2026 Oversupply Forecasts

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. As of the mid‑afternoon window around 3:09–3:24 p.m. ET, WTI crude futures were changing hands near $56.5 a barrel and Brent crude futures near $60.5 a barrel, both down a little over 1% on the session.

Gold Price Now (Dec. 15, 2025, 3:30 PM EST): Spot Gold Holds Near $4,320 as Markets Weigh Fed Cut Bets, Ukraine Talks, and Tuesday’s U.S. Jobs Data

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. As of about 3:17 p.m. ET, spot gold was $4,324.15 per ounce, up 0.40% on the session, according to JM Bullion’s live pricing.

Natural Gas Price Today: Henry Hub Futures Near $4.02 as Warm Forecasts, Record Output and LNG Flows Collide (Dec. 15, 2025)

U.S. natural gas is trading with a familiar winter tug-of-war: colder-season risk vs. suddenly warmer model runs—and, today, the warm side is winning. As of about 3:30 p.m. ET on Monday, December 15, 2025, NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures (January 2026) were near $4.02 per MMBtu, down roughly 2% on the day after an early selloff extended into the afternoon. Investing.com+1 That price level matters because it sits right at the psychological “$4 handle” that often becomes a battleground during winter—especially after the market just went through an early-December spike above $5 before reversing sharply.

Copper Price Today (Dec. 15, 2025, 3:30 PM EST): Copper Holds Near $5.42/lb as LME Prices Stay Close to Record Highs and 2026 Forecasts Shift

Copper prices are back in focus heading into the final stretch of 2025, with the “red metal” hovering near record territory after a sharp run-up and an equally sharp bout of volatility late last week. As of the latest mid‑afternoon pricing available, benchmark COMEX copper futures (most‑active contract) traded around $5.4185 per pound, up about 1.1% on the day, with the day’s range roughly $5.3433–$5.5192, according to Investing.com’s derived real-time feed. Investing.com In London, copper is still being priced like a market wrestling with two competing stories: (1) tightness and inventory distortions linked to U.S. stockpiling and (2) macro and China-demand anxiety that can knock prices around quickly.

Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) stock traded lower on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, as investors balanced fresh product headlines with a fast-moving autonomous-vehicle narrative that’s reshaping expectations for ride-hailing platforms. As of 16:13 UTC, Uber stock was at $82.12, down $2.99 (-3.51%) on the day, after trading between $81.46 and $85.62. That intraday dip arrives at an interesting moment: Uber is pushing further into autonomous ride-hailing partnerships(with a new robotaxi rollout in Dubai) while simultaneously investing in more “offline” access points like physical ride-order kiosks aimed at travelers. On the Street, the debate remains familiar but intense—strong operating momentum and rising cash generation on one side, and regulatory friction plus AV disruption
