[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (+0.90%) is in first place among the major averages, up about 210 points.
Gold futures settled $12.00 lower (-0.3%) at $4,623.70/oz, as traders took profits after recent record highs, with some safe-haven demand easing amid calmer geopolitical rhetoric and reduced near-term policy uncertainty. While expectations for eventual Fed rate cuts remain supportive longer term, improved risk sentiment prompted a modest bout of consolidation in bullion prices.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is now up +0.2% to $99.32.
