Nov 24 (Reuters) - Gold held steady on Friday, set for its second consecutive weekly gain, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar as markets grew confident that the Federal Reserve was done with its interest rate hikes.
Spot gold held ground at $1,992.73 per ounce, as of 0431 GMT. Bullion has risen 0.7% this week. U.S. gold futures were little changed at $1,993.60.
"The theme in financial markets over the past week has been falling yields and a falling U.S. dollar, and... (these) are conducive for gold to move higher," said KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer.
