[BRIEFING.COM] With about two hours to go on Wednesday the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (-2.91%) is getting smacked, down more than 520 points.
Gold futures settled $8.60 higher (+0.4%) to $2,415.90/oz, owing in part to a weaker dollar and mixed moves in treasury yields (shorter tenors are lower).
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down about -0.2% to $104.26.
