However analysts said, investment inflows could also provide strong underlying support, with holdings at the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund at a record high above 800 tones.

Gold gained more than 30% since falling to a 13-month low around $680 in late October, but the rebound also ignited sales of scraps in Asia, which together with fund selling put pressure on prices.
