PRECIOUS-Gold edges down in slow trading, muted dollar supports
Nov 20 (Reuters) - Gold inched lower on Tuesday, trading in a tight range ahead of a U.S. holiday, but the metal held above the 1,220 level as the dollar was pressured by weak U.S. economic data and a clouded interest rate outlook.
SPOT GOLD XAU= inched 0.2 percent lower to $1,221.26 per ounce at 0422 GMT.
U.S. gold future GCcv1 were down 0.3 percent at $1,222.1 per ounce.

"The dollar has come under some pressure giving some support to gold."

The currency came under pressure as U.S. Federal Reserve officials cautioned on the global growth outlook and weak data at home, pointing to a potentially slower pace of rate hikes.
The Fed is still expected to raise interest rates again next month and three times next year, but a strong majority of economists polled by Reuters over the past week say the risk is it will slow that pace down. Feds have changed the landscape to a more dovish terrain suggesting that they too are turning a little bit risk-averse," Stephen Innes, APAC trading head at OANDA in Singapore, said in a note.
"Great signal for gold prices which should see the dollar struggle into year-end while gold will continue to feed off Brexit and trade war risk."
