Ethereum Price Today (ETH-USD): ETH Holds Near $2,940 as ETF Outflows and U.S. Policy Uncertainty Shape the Forecast

December 18, 2025 — Ethereum’s dollar price (ETH-USD) is trading around $2,941, roughly flat on the session after a notably volatile day that saw ETH swing between an intraday low near $2,793 and a high around $3,024. That “whipsaw range” tells you almost everything you need to know about the current Ethereum setup: buyers are still defending the psychologically important $2,800 area, but upside momentum keeps running into supply near $3,000+, especially while U.S. spot Ethereum ETF flows remain negative and crypto regulation headlines keep landing like anvils on risk sentiment.

Bitcoin Price Today (BTC-USD): Bitcoin Holds Near $88,000 After U.S. CPI Surprise — Key Levels and Forecasts for 2025–2026

Bitcoin’s U.S. dollar price (BTC-USD) is trading around $88,044 on Thursday, December 18, 2025, after another whipsaw session that tested both sides of the market’s current “comfortably uncomfortable” range. At the time of writing, BTC is up about 0.5% versus the prior close, with an intraday high near $90,187 and a low around $85,355. That wide band tells the story of today’s tape: traders are reacting to fresh U.S. inflation data, shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy in early 2026, and a notable burst of demand in spot Bitcoin ETFs—all while technical resistance overhead continues to cap rallies.

Gold Price Today (Dec. 18, 2025, 09:55): XAU/USD Holds Near $4,330 as Softer U.S. CPI Revives Fed-Cut Bets

Gold prices are consolidating near record territory on Thursday, December 18, 2025, as traders juggle two powerful forces pulling in opposite directions: a still-resilient U.S. dollar and the renewed case for lower U.S. interest rates after a cooler-than-expected inflation reading. In early trading, spot gold was around the $4,330-per-ounce area, modestly lower on the day after a strong prior-session move, while U.S. gold futures were also fractionally softer. Reuters+1 But the bigger story for bullion today is macro: U.S. CPI cooled to 2.7% year-on-year in November, under the 3.1% consensus forecast in a Reuters poll—fuel for the “rates can fall

NEW YORK — As of 9:49 a.m. ET on Thursday, December 18, 2025, U.S. stocks were higher across the board after a softer-than-expected inflation update revived interest-rate cut hopes and a Micron surge lifted chip and AI-linked shares. US stock market snapshot at 9:49 a.m. ET Early trading showed a risk-on tone: In markets tied closely to Fed expectations, investors leaned into the “lower rates later” theme: That combination—stocks up, yields down, dollar softer—is the classic signature of traders pricing a friendlier path for monetary policy.

Investing.com The tone across Wall Street was broadly risk-on at the same moment: the S&P 500 was up roughly 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite was higher by about 1.2%, while the VIX volatility gauge was lower—an early sign that traders were leaning into “better inflation, lower yields” tailwinds after a jittery stretch tied to AI

Three Mile Island Restart: Energy Secretary Chris Wright Says Crane Clean Energy Center Can Cut Power Prices and Fuel Microsoft’s AI Push

Three Mile Island Restart: Energy Secretary Chris Wright Says Crane Clean Energy Center Can Cut Power Prices and Fuel Microsoft’s AI Push

LONDONDERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (Dec. 18, 2025) — The U.S. Energy Secretary is betting that one of the most symbolically loaded names in American energy history can become a blueprint for the next era of electricity demand: artificial intelligence. This week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited the former Three Mile Island nuclear station—now branded as the Crane Clean Energy Center—to promote a planned restart of the site’s Unit 1 reactor, arguing that more nuclear generation will strengthen reliability, reduce blackout risks, and ultimately push electricity prices down.

US CPI Report: Inflation Cools to 2.7% in November as Stock Futures Jump, Jobless Claims Fall, and Fed Rate-Cut Bets Reprice

Wall Street woke up to a rare combination on Thursday, December 18, 2025: a cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation print, a steady labor-market signal, and a fresh burst of optimism from a bellwether AI-linked chipmaker—after a bruising tech-led selloff the day before. The result was a fast shift in market mood. U.S. stock index futures climbed, Treasury yields edged lower, and investors began recalibrating what “higher for longer” could mean heading into 2026—while also grappling with a major caveat: the November inflation report was released under unusual circumstances following a federal government shutdown that disrupted October data collection.

ECB Holds Rates at 2% as Bank of England Cuts to 3.75%: Riksbank and Norges Bank Pause in Europe’s Final 2025 Calls (Dec. 18, 2025)

Europe’s central banks closed out 2025 with a clear message: the era of rapid rate cuts is fading, but the next phase won’t look the same everywhere. On Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) held interest rates steady, leaning on upgraded growth forecasts and a view that inflation is settling close to target. The Bank of England (BoE) delivered a quarter-point rate cut to 3.75%, but a tight 5–4 split and cautious language underscored just how contested further easing could become. In the Nordics, Sweden’s Riksbank and Norway’s Norges Bank both kept policy rates unchanged, signalling patience as inflation cools
