Stocks steady, oil cools as US-Iran tensions ease

Safety plays were out of favor, with gold retreating to US$1,569.41 an ounce, after scaling a near seven-year peak overnight. Euro zone government bond yields edged up from around three-week lows.

The euro edged up to US$1.1192, but faces stiff chart resistance around US$1.1240, while sterling made gains to US$1.3196 on better UK economic data.
