2026 Natural Gas Price Forecast: Banks Trim Price Decks, EIA Sees $4 Henry Hub

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:17 ET Banks that lend to the U.S. oil and gas industry trimmed their 2026 natural gas price deck to $3.43 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a standard unit of heat energy, down from $3.54 in the spring, a Haynes Boone survey of 29 lenders showed.

Walmart Stock (WMT) News and Forecast: Dec. 21, 2025 Update on Price, Analyst Targets, and 2026 Catalysts

Walmart Inc. stock (NASDAQ: WMT) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with investors juggling a rare mix of “steady-eddy retailer” fundamentals and very un-retail-like headlines: a major CEO transition, a historic exchange switch to Nasdaq, rapid growth in advertising and e-commerce, and a cluster of legal and regulatory developments that could influence near-term sentiment. Because December 21, 2025 is a Sunday (U.S. markets closed), the most current read on Walmart shares reflects the latest completed trading session. As of the most recent data available, WMT last traded around $114.36, modestly lower on the session, after moving between roughly the

USDS USD Price Today (Dec. 18, 2025) and Forecast: Sky Dollar Holds Near $1 as Stablecoin Adoption Accelerates

Sky Dollar (USDS) is doing what a dollar-pegged stablecoin is supposed to do on Dec. 18, 2025: hover very close to $1.00. Across major price trackers, USDS is trading around the $0.999–$1.000 level today, with only tiny intraday wiggles that typically reflect liquidity, venue-to-venue pricing differences, and short-term demand for on-chain “cash” during periods of crypto volatility. MetaMask+1 But here’s the more interesting story for readers looking beyond the penny-wide moves: stablecoins are rapidly becoming mainstream financial infrastructure, with fresh headlines today spanning fintech launches, payments integration, regulatory follow-through, and institutional adoption.

XRP Price Today (XRP-USD) Holds Near $1.90 as It Battles the $2.00 Line; Forecast and Key Levels for Dec. 18, 2025

XRP’s USD price (XRP-USD) is trading around $1.90–$1.91 on Thursday, December 18, 2025, after another volatile session that briefly pushed the token down toward the mid‑$1.80s and up toward the high‑$1.90s. Across major market trackers, XRP’s 24-hour range has been roughly $1.83 to $1.98—a swing of nearly 8% from low to high, underscoring how jumpy risk assets remain into year‑end. CoinGecko That volatility is showing up in the broader tape too: bitcoin is still struggling to regain consistent upside traction, while altcoins like XRP are reacting to macro data, ETF flows, and shifting risk appetite almost tick-for-tick.

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.
