Oil Prices This Week: Brent and WTI Slide More Than 4% on Supply Glut Fears — Week-Ahead Outlook (Updated Dec. 13, 2025)

Updated: Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025 Oil prices ended the week lower despite a burst of geopolitical drama that would normally lift crude. Brent settled Friday at $61.12 a barrel and U.S. WTI at $57.44, capping a weekly drop of more than 4% as traders focused on growing expectations of an oversupplied 2026 market and the possibility of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal easing supply risks. Reuters+1 That bearish supply narrative stayed dominant even after the U.S. seized a Venezuelan crude tanker and fresh strikes hit Russian energy infrastructure—events that, in a tighter market, might have injected a bigger “risk premium” into prices.

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 13, 2025): U.S. Futures Slide 22% This Week as Warmth Returns—What to Watch Next Week

Updated: Saturday, December 13, 2025 (prices reflect the latest available market closes and published data through Friday, Dec. 12) Natural gas markets just delivered a reminder of how fast sentiment can flip in winter. After a cold-driven surge to multi-year highs earlier this month, U.S. natural gas futures reversed sharply this week as weather models turned milder, production stayed near record levels, and storage—while tightening—remained comfortable for mid-December. The result: a steep weekly selloff in U.S. prices, while Europe’s TTF benchmark hovered near 19–20 month lows on robust supply and stronger wind outlooks, and Asian LNG spot markers eased toward multi-month lows amid ample cargo availability
