[BRIEFING.COM] The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (+0.64%) is in first place on Monday afternoon, up about 153 points.
Gold futures settled $15.20 higher (+0.4%) at $4,015.90/oz, supported by a softer U.S. dollar and renewed expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gains were tempered by hawkish Fed commentary and easing geopolitical tensions, which limited safe-haven demand.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is now up less than +0.1% to $99.85.
