[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (-1.47%) is in last place on Thursday afternoon, down more than 345 points.
Gold futures settled $1.90 lower (-0.1%) at $3,991/oz, as traders weighed safe-haven demand against uncertainty over the Fed's next policy move. A softer dollar and ongoing U.S. government shutdown concerns offered support, but stronger labor data and cautious Fed commentary limited buying interest.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down about -0.5% to $99.70.
