* Bullion loses edge on stimulus fears; ETF outflows rise
* China GDP grows by less than expected 7.7 pct in Q1
* Oil, copper at multi-month lows
By Manolo Serapio Jr
SINGAPORE, April 15 (Reuters) - Gold sank to its weakest in two years and oil and copper hit multi-month lows as investors sold off commoditiesfor a second day on Monday, worried that central banks will pull the plug on stimulus and as disappointing Chinese data signaled a setback for the global economic recovery.
Gold fell more than 3 percent, after sliding 5.3 percent on Friday, as investors further slashed their bullion holdings on concern that centralbanks are bent on halting stimulus measures this year, cutting gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation. Holdings on global gold exchange-traded funds hit their lowest in more than a year.
China's economy grew 7.7 percent in the first quarter, undershooting market expectations for an 8.0 percent expansion and frustrating investors hoping the world's No. 2 economy would rebound after posting its weakest growth in 13 years in 2012.
