[BRIEFING.COM] With about two hours to go on Tuesday afternoon, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (+0.20%) sits in second place.
Gold futures settled $11.50 lower (-0.3%) at $3,343.40/oz, as a stronger U.S. dollar and cautious sentiment with an eye on U.S./China trade talks in London. Traders also stayed on the sidelines ahead of this week's U.S. inflation data, which could influence the Fed's next policy steps.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is little changed at $99.04.
