Gold futures remained steady Friday after the Federal Reserve released its methodology for conducting its so called "stress tests" of the 19 largest U.S. banks. Gold for June delivery was down $1.60, or 0.2%, at $912.60 an ounce in North American electronic trading. Prices were slightly lower ahead of the release. The Federal Reserve is using a new pessimistic forecast about whether each bank has sufficient capital reserves to survive over the next two years, according to the release.
