[BRIEFING.COM] With about two hours to go on Tuesday afternoon the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (-0.52%) is in second place, down about 118 points.
Gold futures settled $8.00 lower (-0.2%) at $4,066.50/oz, as a firmer dollar and reduced expectations for near-term Fed rate cuts pressured the non-yielding metal. Technical softness added to the drift lower, even as longer-term support from steady central-bank demand remains intact.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is now less than +0.1% higher to $99.57.
