Nov 15 (Reuters) - Gold pared losses to trade higher on Tuesday, in the wake of better-than-expected U.S. retail sales data and as the dollar slightly trimmed gains, although caution about the euro zone's debt crisis kept further gains in check.
Spot gold hit a session high at 1,785.39 an ounce, before trading at $1,783.10 by 1453 GMT, up 0.1 percent from $1,779.89 late in New York on Monday. (Reporting by Harpreet Bhal; Editing by Alison Birrane)
