LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Spot gold <XAU=> extended gains to hit a record high at $1,100.90 per ounce on Friday, fuelled by a falling dollar in volatile trade sparked by weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data.

By 1448 GMT, spot gold stood at $1,098.40 per ounce, compared with $1,089.55 quoted late in New York on Thursday. Traders said the market was also continuing to find support from the prospect of central bank buying of gold for reserve diversification purposes.
