[BRIEFING.COM] The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (+0.51%) is in second place on Friday afternoon, up about 137 points.
Gold futures settled $23.20 higher (+0.5%) at $4,321.20/oz, down then about -2.34% on the week, as dip-buying and safe-haven demand tied to Middle East tensions provide support after this week's decline. A stronger dollar, higher Treasury yields and expectations for additional Fed rate hikes remain headwinds, limiting the advance.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index is down about -0.2% to $101.04.
