Crude oil futures continued declining on December 16, 2025 as oversupply concerns and weaker macro sentiment weighed on prices. Reuters coverage noted that Brent crude and WTI were trading near levels not seen since early 2021, reflecting market anxiety over slowing global demand and potential easing of geopolitical tensions that had previously supported prices. These price dynamics acted as a root commodity event driving sector rotations, influencing energy equities and broader commodity-linked trades across financial markets. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
