As fears of a major escalation of the Middle East crisis abated, gold was little changed on Friday ahead of the release of a key US inflation report, but prices are on track for their first weekly decline in six weeks.

Spot gold rose 0.1% to $2,334.57 per ounce at 0409 GMT. US gold futures rose 0.2% to $2,346.70

For the week, gold prices fell by 2.3%, poised for their biggest weekly drop since the beginning of December after a major escalation of the crisis in the Middle East was avoided. Prices have lost nearly $100 compared to the all-time high of $2,431.29 reached on April 12.

Spot silver rose 0.2% to $27.49 per ounce, spot platinum rose 0.8% to $921.45, and palladium gained 1.4% to $988.22 per ounce. All three metals headed for weekly declines
