Gold prices flitted in a range-bound trade on Friday as traders weighed the repercussions of the Middle East conflict against expectations that US interest rates would stay higher for longer after the economy's upbeat performance last quarter.
Spot gold was steady at $1,984.69 per ounce by 0131 GMT. US gold futures were down 0.2 per cent at $1,994.30.
The US economy surged at the fastest growth pace in nearly two years in the third quarter, again defying dire warnings of a recession.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said US third-quarter economic growth of nearly 5 per cent was a good sign that the economy was headed for a soft landing, but could help keep longer-dated bond yields elevated.
Spot silver eased 0.1 per cent to $22.80, platinum rose 0.3 per cent to $902.72 and palladium fell 0.1 per cent to $1,132.11.
In Delhi and Mumbai, one kilogram of silver is currently trading at Rs 75,100.
In Chennai, one kilogram of silver is trading at Rs 78,000.
