Gold prices steady with Fed minutes on tap

* Traders have now priced in a nearly 87% chance of a 25-basis-point rate reduction in November, according to CME FedWatch.
* Zero-yield bullion is a preferred investment amid lower interest rates.
* Fed Bank of Boston President Susan Collins said that with inflation trends growing weaker it is very probable that the U.S. central bank can deliver more interest rate cuts.
