Oil and natural gas prices remain influenced by geopolitical tensions and technical breakouts, but weak fundamentals and oversupply continue to limit sustained upside.

Oil prices show uncertainty below $60 as Ukraine strikes Russia’s Druzhba pipeline, raising concerns about potential supply disruptions. Although the pipeline operator confirmed that flows to Hungary and Slovakia remain unaffected, the market reacted to the geopolitical risk. The perception of heightened tensions provided short-term support for prices. Brent crude oil (BCO) increased to $62.80, while WTI crude oil (CL) reached $59.10.

The stalled peace talks between the U.S. and Russia increase the likelihood of a short-term rebound in oil prices. Traders had previously anticipated a breakthrough that could lead to the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil. However, with no progress reported and uncertainty still lingering, expectations of an imminent supply return have diminished.

However, short-term gains remain limited due to weak underlying fundamentals. Concerns over global oversupply and sluggish demand continue to weigh on the market. Fitch Ratings recently lowered its 2025–2027 oil price outlook, citing expectations that production growth will outpace consumption. While geopolitical risks may provide temporary support, the broader downtrend is likely to persist unless there is a meaningful recovery in demand.

WTI Crude Oil (CL) Technical Analysis
WTI Oil Daily Chart – Consolidation at Long-Term Support
The daily chart for WTI crude oil indicates that the price is consolidating within a long-term support zone, spanning the $55 to $60 region. However, the strong rejection at the 50-day and 200-day SMAs suggests that oil prices remain under bearish pressure.

As long as the price stays below the $60 level, the possibility of a further decline toward the $55 area remains high. On the other hand, a decisive break above the $65–$68 zone would increase the likelihood of a strong move toward the $70 region. The RSI is also fluctuating below the mid-level, which further reinforces the negative pressure on oil prices.

WTI Oil 4-Hour Chart – Negative Price Action
The 4-hour chart for WTI crude oil shows that the price is consolidating below the red dotted trendline. As long as the price stays below $62, the likelihood of a strong drop in oil prices remains high.

The prolonged consolidation below the $70 and $65 regions over the past few months has created a tight trading range for oil prices. This sustained price action increases the probability of continued downside pressure in the oil market.

Natural Gas (NG) Technical Analysis
Natural Gas Daily Chart – Bullish Momentum
The daily chart for natural gas (NG) indicates that the price has broken above the red-shaded area around the $4.90 level. This breakout signals a potential for a continued strong upside move. Bullish price action has emerged from the long-term support level near $2.50. This development supports the likelihood of upward momentum in the days to come.

However, the RSI is currently hovering in the overbought zone. This signals that a short‑term pullback or slower consolidation may occur before the next leg higher. The immediate strong support remains near the $4.50 level.

Natural Gas 4-Hour Chart – Bullish Momentum
The 4-hour chart for natural gas shows that the price has broken above the $4.70 level after forming a bullish price structure above the $4.10 region. Multiple reversals from the $2.60 support zone have signaled a strong base for natural gas prices. A breakout above the black dotted trendline near $3.50 confirms sustained bullish momentum. These developments indicate further upside potential for natural gas in the coming days.

US Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis
US Dollar Daily Chart – Bearish Pressure
The daily chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows a continued decline below the 99 level. This move followed a failed attempt to break above the 100.50 resistance. The price has also dropped below the 50-day SMA. This breakdown increases the likelihood of a deeper move toward the 96.50 level. Additionally, the RSI remains below the mid-level, reinforcing short-term bearish pressure on the dollar.

US Dollar 4-Hour Chart – Negative Price Action
The chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows that the index has broken below the 99 level. This level served as the neckline of a double top pattern. The formation of the double top near 100.50 suggests strong bearish pressure. This pattern increases the likelihood of continued downside toward the 98 level. A confirmed break below 98 would reinforce the bearish outlook and open the path for a further decline toward the 96.50 region.

December 03, 2025 10:37 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM) between July 26, 2024 and September 17, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased DexCom securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DexCom class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28133 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DexCom had made material design changes to the G6 and G7 continuous glucose monitoring ("CGM") systems that were unauthorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"); (2) the foregoing design changes rendered the G6 and G7 less reliable than their prior iterations, presenting a material health risk to users relying on those devices for accurate glucose readings; (3) accordingly, defendants' purported enhancements to the G7, as well as the device's reliability, accuracy, and functionality, were overstated; (4) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the issues and health risks posed by adulterated G7 devices; (5) all the foregoing subjected DexCom to an increased risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action, as well as significant legal, reputational, and financial harm; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the DexCom class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28133 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Hey everybody. Really, thank you so much for joining this call. I'm incredibly appreciative of your interest. I hope you can bear with me. My voice is pretty hoarse. I've literally had hundreds and hundreds of conversations with doctors over the last 3 days talking about CT:VQ at the RSNA conference. And it also doesn't help that it's currently below freezing here in Chicago where the whole place is covered in snow.

Let's get into it. Here is, of course, important notices. For those of you who are really new to the business, to 4DX, we are a structural and functional imaging software company. We take CT scans and add significant value to those to help the whole range of doctors, radiologists, lung doctors, surgeons. We have about 130 folks across our team with a key focus of our U.S. team being on our market and the rest of the team being in Australia. And we have -- we're excited. We now have 9 FDA-cleared devices as of early September when we got CT:VQ cleared by the FDA.

So this is our portfolio. One of the key things that we've learned over the last few years, in particular, since getting CT LVAS to market and the acquisition, which -- and this information led to the acquisition of Imbio, that there is really significant value in being a full-service offering.

SummaryDemand tailwinds from the aging Baby Boomer cohort and record-low new construction underpin a multi-year runway for double-digit internal and external growth.Premiums to NAV enable accretive acquisitions, and current valuations underestimate the durability and longevity of the SH cycle for these REITs.VTR, WELL, and AHR are best positioned to benefit from exceptional internal growth combined with robust and accretive external growth.We maintain positions in all three REITs but favor VTR given its meaningfully lower 2026 P/AFFO multiple despite similar growth prospects.

December 03, 2025 9:45 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) between February 15, 2022 and September 24, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 12, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Freeport-McMoRan securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Freeport class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45553 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 12, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Freeport-McMoRan did not adequately ensure safety at the Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia; (2) the lack of proper safety precautions constituted a heightened risk that could foreseeably lead to the death of Freeport's workers; (3) this constituted an undisclosed heightened risk of regulatory, litigation, and reputational risk; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Freeport-McMoRan's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Freeport class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45553 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Solana Mobile is preparing to launch its SKR token in January, marking the start of a new phase for its open mobile ecosystem.

Summary

New SKR token launches in January with a model built around staking, rewards, and community security.
Seeker phone adoption is rising, with strong activity from builders and early users.
The Guardians network aims to decentralize device verification and app review starting in 2026.

In a Nov. 3 announcement on X, Solana Mobile introduced SKR as a tool to help users support builders, secure devices, and take part in shaping the mobile platform.

At launch, SKR will act as a coordination layer for the Seeker phone ecosystem. Users can stake the token to Guardians, who handle device checks, review new apps, and enforce community rules.

A token built for growth, security, and community coordination
The token runs on a fixed supply of 10 billion SKR. The distribution includes 30% for airdrops, 25% for growth and partnerships, 10% for liquidity and launch, 10% for the community treasury, 15% for Solana Mobile, and 10% for Solana (SOL) Labs.

Its inflation schedule moves in a straight line, starting at 10% in year one, then shrinking by 25% each year until it reaches a steady 2% terminal rate. The model is meant to reward early users who stake and help secure the network.

Anyone with a Seeker device can activate a Genesis Token, issued as a soulbound NFT through the Seed Vault wallet, to take part in early airdrop rounds and other rewards.

Seeker momentum and the rise of the Guardians network
Solana Mobile’s hardware push has gathered steady traction since the Seeker phone rollout began on Aug. 4. The device shipped more than 150,000 pre-orders worldwide and arrived with the next version of the dApp Store, built-in key storage, and decentralized hardware verification through TEEPIN.

New apps continue to arrive each week, helped by a steady stream of builders from the recent Solana Mobile Hackathon. The upcoming Guardians network will extend that momentum into 2026. Guardians will operate as independent verifiers responsible for checking phone authenticity, reviewing app submissions, and helping shape platform rules. 

Solana Mobile will act as the first Guardian, with others like Anza, Helius, DoubleZero, Triton, and Jito, joining at launch. The idea is to open the mobile stack to more contributors and avoid depending on a single gatekeeper.

SKR is set to power this network through staking. Guardians earn rewards tied to the work they perform, and users gain a direct role in how the ecosystem grows.

As January approaches, Solana Mobile sees SKR as a way to push its open mobile vision forward while keeping value tied to the community that builds and uses the platform.
