[BRIEFING.COM] With about two hours to go on Tuesday the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (-0.26%) is down about 55 points.
Gold futures settled $14 higher (+0.4%) at $3,324.00/oz, recovering from recent lows as a weaker U.S. dollar and falling Treasury yields boosted safe-haven demand. The move followed fading enthusiasm over a U.S./EU trade deal and growing investor caution ahead of this week's Fed policy meeting.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is now up about +0.3% to $98.93.
