[BRIEFING.COM] With about two hours to go on Friday the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (+0.30%) is up about 50 points, clawing out of the red over the prior half hour.
Gold futures settled $12.50 lower (-0.5%) to $2,914.10/oz, though still higher by +2.4% on the week as the precious metal got more attractive owing to this week's trade war headlines as well as weakness in the greenback.
Currently, the U.S. Dollar Index is down about -0.3% to $103.89.
