Gold prices eased on Friday ahead of a key U.S. jobs report, but were set for their best week in three as the dollar weakened on prospects of slower U.S. Federal Reserve rate hikes and signs of cooling inflation.
Spot gold XAU= fell 0.3% to $1,796.71 per ounce, as of 0247 GMT, after hitting its highest since Aug. 10 at $1,804.46 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures GCv1 were down 0.2% at $1,810.70.
Gold prices have risen about 2.4% so far in the week in what would be their second straight weekly gain.
