The overall trend for the day was one of optimism and confidence, as traders looked ahead to the new year with hopes for continued economic growth and stability.One of the standout performers of the day was crude oil, which saw a sharp increase in price following reports of tightening global supply. The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil rose by more than 5% to close at $110, its highest level in over a year.

Investors flocked to gold as a safe-haven asset amid continued uncertainty in global financial markets, driving up demand and pushing prices higher.In the agricultural sector, soybeans and corn both saw modest gains as traders bet on increased demand for both commodities in the coming year. Soybean prices rose by 1.5% to close at $13.50 per bushel, while corn prices increased by 2% to $5.75 per bushel.Overall, the New York commodities market ended 2025 on a high note, with many key commodities seeing gains and traders feeling optimistic about the prospects for the new year.
