Gold prices held steady on Friday ahead of the US jobs report that could help investors gauge the Federal Reserve's rate-hike path, and were headed for their biggest weekly gain since March.
Spot gold was little changed at $1,709.69 per ounce, as of 0123 GMT.
Prices have risen about 3 per cent so far in the week, helped by a retreat in the dollar and Treasury yields from multi-year peaks.
