Gold prices were steady on Thursday, supported by dovish Federal Reserve signals but restrained by a resilient dollar ahead of US inflation data this week, while silver hovered near record highs. Spot gold was down 0.1% at $4,334.70 an ounce, as of 0534 GMT, after rising more than 1% late on Wednesday. US gold futures also eased 0.2% to $4,365.40.
