Gold prices were poised for a second monthly gain on Friday as lingering economic concerns and a weaker dollar drove investors to the safe-haven asset, with markets now focused on the Federal Reserve's meeting due next month, APA-Economics reports citing Reuters.
Spot gold held its ground at $1,989.50 per ounce by 0310 GMT, and was headed for a 1.1% monthly gain.
U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,999.00.
Rival dollar , on the other hand, was set for a monthly decline, making gold a more attractive bet for other currencies holders.
Among other precious metals, spot platinum rose 0.1% to $1,078.21, palladium added 0.3% to $1,499.96.
Silver was flat at $24.95.
