Oil Prices Slide Below $60 as Ukraine Peace Talks and Weak China Data Stoke 2026 Supply-Glut Fears

December 16, 2025 — Oil prices pushed lower on Tuesday, with Brent crude dipping under the psychologically important $60-a-barrel mark as traders weighed two powerful forces hitting the market at once: rising optimism that Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations could eventually loosen constraints on Russian supply, and fresh evidence that China’s demand engine is losing momentum. By early afternoon in Europe, Brent crude futures were down about 1.3% at $59.75 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded near $55.98, down roughly 1.5%.

December 16, 2025 — XRP (the token closely associated with Ripple’s ecosystem) slid further Tuesday, extending a multi-week soft patch and turning a familiar psychological line in the sand — $2 — into a fresh point of market anxiety. In early trading, XRP fell into the $1.80s, with multiple reports placing the move around $1.87–$1.88, as the broader crypto market flipped risk-off and leveraged positions were forced out.

Bitcoin Price Today: BTC Slides Near $86K as $140K, $270K and $1M Forecasts Collide With Fresh UK Crypto Rules

Bitcoin is back in the spotlight on Tuesday, December 16, 2025—but not for the reason bulls were hoping for. After a volatile start to December, BTC fell toward the mid-$80,000s, pressured by a broader “risk-off” mood ahead of key U.S. economic data and a busy week of central-bank decisions. Reuters At the same time, the market’s long-running identity crisis is intensifying: short-term weakness and forced liquidations are playing out alongside some of the boldest mainstream price targets in years—including calls for $140,000 within months, $270,000 in five years, and even the familiar “$1 million Bitcoin” narrative.
