[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (+0.22%) is in last place on Friday afternoon, up about 50 points with two hours to go.
Gold futures settled $37.90 higher (+1.0%) at $3,809/oz, extending weekly gains to about +2.8%, as investors sought safe havens amid tariff-driven inflation concerns and geopolitical unease. The move was also supported by shifting Fed rate expectations, with markets weighing stronger U.S. data against the potential inflationary impact of new trade measures.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down about -0.3% to $98.18.
