Natural gas price jumps after EIA storage draw; UNG and BOIL climb in late stock trading

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:17 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas-linked funds rose in after-hours stock trading on Monday, tracking a firming in natural gas prices after a colder weather outlook and a government report showing a sizable storage withdrawal. Hellenic Shipping News+1 Why it matters now: winter gas trading is dominated by weather-driven demand and storage swings, and both can move quickly when forecasts change. Investors in gas ETFs and gas-heavy producers are watching whether early-season withdrawals keep inventories tight. EIA Information Releases+1 The latest price action is also being shaped by liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports,

Allied Gold slides 7% as gold pulls back from record highs

Allied Gold slides 7% as gold pulls back from record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares fell about 7.4% on Monday, tracking a broad pullback in precious metals. The stock was down $1.84 at $23.08 in afternoon trading after earlier touching $23.01. The move matters heading into the final sessions of the year, when holiday-thinned trading can amplify swings. Gold miners tend to react sharply when bullion reverses because earnings expectations often move faster than the metal price. Spot gold slid 4.5% to $4,330.79 an ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET after hitting a record $4,549.71 on Friday. “We are seeing profit-taking pullbacks

Newmont tumbles as gold drops 4% and CME hikes metals margins

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of Newmont (NEM) fell 5.7% to $99.70 in afternoon trading, leading declines in major gold miners as gold prices slid more than 4% from record highs and traders unwound positions. The move matters because gold’s year-end surge has been one of 2025’s standout trades, pulling miners and precious-metals funds higher with it. A sharp reversal can force fast selling in a market that is already thin after the holidays. It also lands just as exchanges raise collateral demands, a common volatility brake that can push leveraged traders to cut

Silver sinks from record highs as year-end profit-taking slams metals, oil climbs

Silver sinks from record highs as year-end profit-taking slams metals, oil climbs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:06 ET Gold and silver tumbled on Monday after touching record highs, as investors locked in gains in thin year-end trading. Spot gold fell 4.2% to $4,340.52 an ounce by 12:00 p.m. ET, while silver slid 8.4% to $72.51. The pullback matters because markets are heading into the final, holiday-shortened week of 2025 after a sharp late-year run in commodities and currencies. Traders have pushed precious metals to records on expectations of lower U.S. interest rates, which tend to support non-yielding assets like gold. With liquidity patchy around year-end, routine position trimming can move prices

Silver tumbles from record high; SLV slides as traders book profits and margin rules tighten

Silver tumbles from record high; SLV slides as traders book profits and margin rules tighten

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 1:47 PM ET — Regular session Silver fell sharply on Monday and silver-linked shares slid as the metal retreated from a fresh record, with traders pointing to profit-taking and tighter trading conditions late in the year. The pullback matters now because silver’s late-December surge drew heavy, leveraged positioning, making the market prone to abrupt reversals when volatility spikes. It also matters because silver sits at the intersection of safe-haven demand and industrial use, so big moves can quickly spill into exchange-traded funds and mining shares. Spot silver was down 8.4% at $72.51 an ounce by

Freeport-McMoRan slips as copper futures retreat, dragging miners lower

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:13 ET — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan shares fell about 2% on Monday, underperforming as copper futures pulled back from a sharp late-year run. The stock was down $1.07 at $51.97 at midday in New York. The move matters because Freeport’s earnings and cash flow tend to track copper prices, leaving the stock sensitive to day-to-day swings in the red metal. With copper volatility elevated heading into year-end, investors have been quick to fade rallies and lock in gains. Copper prices have been whipsawing as traders weigh supply disruptions and uncertainty over potential U.S. trade measures

Silver ETFs slide as silver retreats from $83 record, rattling late-year buyers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET Silver-backed funds slid on Monday after the metal reversed from fresh records. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell to about $65 and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) traded below $24, each down about 8% by 10:18 a.m. ET, according to market data. Reuters The move matters because silver’s surge has pulled more investors into exchange-traded vehicles that track bullion, compressing the trade into products that can swing sharply when the metal turns. SLV and PSLV are among the most widely used U.S.-listed routes for silver exposure without storing bars. BlackRock+1 Traders were also reassessing

Investing.com+1 The reversal matters because silver’s late-year surge has turned volatile, and traders are testing how much of the run-up was driven by momentum and crowded positioning ahead of year-end.

Silver just hit a record above $80 — now it’s sliding as traders lock in gains

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:28 ET Silver slid on Monday after briefly topping $80 an ounce for the first time, as investors took profits late in the year and bets on easing geopolitical risks reduced demand for “safe-haven” assets such as precious metals. Reuters The retreat matters because the rally has been one of the sharpest across major commodities in 2025, pulling in both speculative money and longer-term investors looking for inflation hedges. The move is also testing how durable demand will be as markets head into 2026 with expectations for U.S. interest-rate cuts. Reuters+1 Spot silver was down

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:56 ET — Premarket ICL Group Ltd (ICL.N) shares were little changed in premarket trading on Monday, holding around $5.54 after the fertilizer and specialty chemicals maker’s latest jump.
