[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (+1.83%) is in first place among the major averages, up about 425 points.
Gold futures settled $82.70 higher (+1.7%) at $4,850.10/oz, as a weaker U.S. dollar, falling oil prices, and softer rate expectations boosted demand for the non-yielding metal. The move was further supported by lingering geopolitical uncertainty, even as optimism around U.S./Iran diplomacy improved broader risk sentiment.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down -0.3% to $98.09.
