Gold futures on the COMEX Division of the New York Mercantile Exchange pulled back on Friday as its record-breaking rally paused thanks to a stronger U.S. dollar and conflicting data released Friday and comments from Federal Reserve, encouraging short-term investors to book in profits. The most active gold contract for December delivery shed 5.6 dollars, or 0.4 percent, to finish at 1,372 dollars per ounce. Earlier, the price touched an intraday high of 1,386.4 dollars per ounce.
