Gold eases but set for weekly gain as Fed rate-cut bets boost appeal




Gold prices eased on Friday but headed for a third straight weekly rise, after cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation data sparked hopes that the Federal Reserve will likely start cutting interest rates in September.

Spot gold fell 0.2% at $2,408.70 per ounce, as of 0148 GMT after rising 2% on Thursday.
