Spot gold held steady on Friday, set to cap a week marked by a narrow trading range as Greece's approval of austerity measures diminished safe-haven demand for bullion in the short term. Spot gold was little changed at $1,498.70 an ounce by 0602 GMT, nearly flat from a week earlier. US gold edged down 0.3 percent to $1,499.10. Spot silver inched down 0.4 percent to $34.51, headed for a 0.6-percent weekly rise, snapping two consecutive weeks of decline.
