[BRIEFING.COM] The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (-0.37%) is in last place on Monday afternoon, down 87 points.
Gold futures settled $6.90 higher (+0.2%) at $4,335.20/oz, supported by a softer U.S. dollar and lower Treasury yields as markets continue to price in further Fed rate cuts following last week’s easing. Ongoing safe-haven demand and central bank buying also helped keep bullion near recent highs.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down less than -0.1% to $98.37.
