Copper Price Forecast December 2025: LME Near $12,000 as AI Demand, Tariff Flows and Supply Shocks Drive Volatility

Copper is closing out 2025 with the kind of price action usually reserved for crisis commodities: sharp rallies, sudden air pockets, and a market that looks tight in some places and oddly comfortable in others. Midway through December, London Metal Exchange (LME) copper is still trading at historically elevated levels after repeatedly printing new highs this month—supported by supply disruptions, policy-driven shifts in global inventory, and a fresh narrative that “AI infrastructure is the new mega-demand driver.” Lme+1 So what’s the most realistic copper price forecast for December 2025—not next year, not “the decade of electrification,” but the final stretch

Cotton Price Forecast for December 2025: USDA Lowers U.S. Price Outlook as ICE Futures Grind Sideways

Updated Dec. 14, 2025 Cotton is ending 2025 with a familiar feel: a tight trading range, stubbornly soft demand signals, and a market that keeps looking for a catalyst big enough to break it out of the low‑60s cents-per-pound zone. The latest benchmark numbers underline that “range-bound” tone. USDA’s weekly spot market review put average U.S. spot quotations (base quality, seven designated markets) at 60.33 cents/lb for the week ending Dec. 11, while the ICE March 2026 contract ended that same week at 63.97 cents/lb.

US Treasury Bonds Forecast for December 2025: Fed Rate Cut, Delayed Jobs & CPI Data, and Auction Supply Set Up a Volatile Finish

Mid-December is shaping up as one of the most consequential stretches of the year for the U.S. Treasury market—not because investors lack information, but because too much of it is about to arrive at once. After the Federal Reserve’s December rate cut and a surprise pivot back to technical Treasury bill purchases to steady money markets, traders are now bracing for a shutdown-delayed burst of jobs and inflation data that could reprice the entire yield curve before year-end. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury’s auction calendar marches on, with key mid- and late-December auctions still ahead—right as liquidity conditions typically tighten into

ETF Forecast for December 2025: What to Expect for Stock, Bond, Gold and Bitcoin ETFs After the Fed’s Year-End Cut

December 2025 is shaping up as a “busy but brittle” month for ETF investors: record-setting inflows are colliding with a Federal Reserve that just cut rates again—but is also signaling it may pause. That combination often produces the same market pattern ETFs make easy to express: a late-year bid for risk assets, paired with very selective positioning in fixed income and “hedge” exposures like gold. Below is a data-driven ETF outlook for the rest of December 2025, based on the most recent fund-flow reports, central-bank messaging, and market analysis published over the past several days.

Gold’s late-year rally has accelerated in December 2025, with spot prices holding firmly above the $4,200–$4,300 zone as traders recalibrate expectations for US interest rates, the dollar, and global risk. In the space of a few sessions, the market has digested a Federal Reserve rate cut, a fresh warning from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) about “explosive” price behavior in both US equities and gold, and a surge in silver that many analysts say is pulling precious metals higher as a complex.
