By Kate Gibson
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold prices edged higher on Friday ahead of the government's latest estimate of U.S. economic growth from April through June. Analysts at Action Economics pointed to expectations that a steep decline in U.S. growth numbers could offer a catalyst for the metal to make another run higher. Gold futures for December delivery gained 90 cents to $1,238.6 an ounce in electronic trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
