[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (+0.10%) is in first place, but the steady fall off morning highs has continued to chip away in the last half hour.
Gold futures settled $9.20 higher (+0.3%) at $3,343.10/oz; the move came as traders kept one eye on the Middle East, despite a temporary cease-fire between Iran and Israel, tensions remain high enough to keep some safe-haven demand alive. At the same time, investors are also bracing for key U.S. economic data later this week, including inflation and GDP numbers, which could shape expectations for Fed policy.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down -0.2% to $97.82.
