Gold edged down on Thursday after holdings on the main ETF slipped again, but a weaker dollar could stir up trade after comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated the central bank was in no rush to raise interest rates. Spot gold lost $2.25 to $1,360.64 an ounce by 0641 GMT, but dealers hoped unrest in Egypt could still ignite safe haven buying. Gold was well below a lifetime high around $1,430 an ounce hit in December.
