SINGAPORE, June 10 (Reuters) - Spot gold was little changed on Friday, after the European Central Bank rejected any form of debt restructure for Greece, fueling worries about the country's debt crisis and underpinning sentiment in bullion.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Spot gold was flat at $1,543.79 an ounce by 0046 GMT, headed for a 0.2 percent weekly gain.
* U.S. gold
* The European Central Bank signalled a July rate hike as expected, but raised the stakes in its stand-off with governments over a new bailout for Greece by rejecting any form of debt restructure.
* Lack of an immediate solution for Greece's debt crisis is likely to keep gold sentiment underpinned, as investors seek safe haven in bullion during times of economic and political uncertainties.
* In the United States, record exports in April tempered fears that the economic recovery was running off the rails, even though first-time claims for jobless benefits edged higher last week.
* Investors are waiting for cues from the U.S. Federal Reserve on its future policy moves as the $600 billion bond purchase programme is due to expire at the end of the month.
