Gold prices eased on Friday but hovered around the $2,700 level, as traders assessed the impact of Donald Trump's presidency and its implications for the U.S. interest rate outlook. Spot gold fell 0.4% to $2,697.19 per ounce as of 0251 GMT and was headed for a weekly loss. Gold prices are marginally pressured due to the market's uncertainty over U.S. political and policy developments, said Kyle Rodda, financial market analyst at Capital.com. Spot silver fell 0.8% to $31.75 per ounce, platinum fell 0.2% to $994.80 and palladium shed 0.21% to $1,022.36.
