Internationally, gold prices edged lower as a stronger dollar and fading hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December weighed on sentiment. Investors are also awaiting a delayed US jobs report. Spot gold was quoted at $4,077.82 per ounce, down 0.1% as of 0449 GMT, while US gold futures for December delivery slipped 0.2% to $4,076.50 per ounce.
