Gold prices stopped just shy of hitting $1,300 after the dollar found support on the back of a pair of reports pointing to underlying strength in the U.S. economy..

In Europe, meanwhile, political uncertainty supported demand for safe-haven gold after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy gave the Catalan government eight days to abandon its independence bid.
