Gold fell on Friday as commodity index readjustments and a firm dollar kept the pressure on prices, with investors positioning ahead of crucial U.S. non-farm payrolls data due later in the day.
Spot gold edged 0.2% lower to $4,469.03 per ounce as of 0536 GMT, though it was set for a more than 3% weekly gain. Bullion hit a record high of $4,549.71 on December 26.
