Gold prices edged higher on Thursday as lingering fears over a global economic downturn and lack of clarity on the U.S.-China trade front kept the safe haven comfortably above the key $1,500 per ounce handle.

However, bullion's gains were limited as investors took stock of mixed economic data from the United States, with strong U.S. retail sales offering respite to battered risk appetite.

"But with the U.S. retail sales data coming out as strong as they did, that's seeing some market participants rethink their bets," said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities.

However, the elevated levels of safe haven interest in gold fueled by factors such as the Hong Kong unrest and fears of an Argentine debt default "is not likely to change in a single day," Ghali added.
