Gold prices held steady on Friday, on track for their third straight weekly gain, as investors awaited US jobs data for clues on whether the Federal Reserve would hold to its bullion-supporting stimulus programme. Spot gold was little changed at $1,413.35 an ounce by 0715 GMT, after climbing about 0.7 percent on Thursday as the dollar fell sharply against the yen and the euro.
Holdings in SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, fell 0.3 percent to 1,007.74 tonnes on Thursday, as outflows resumed after holding steady nearly a week. Holdings are at four-year lows.
