Tensions between the United States and North Korea rose again, as Donald Trump recently tweeted about the fact that negotiating with North Korea does not make sense. The negotiations, which have been going on for 25 years, are not yielding any results, since North Korea always violates the agreements reached. Furthermore, Trump hinted that soon there will be only one opportunity to exert pressure on the regime of Kim Jong Un, meaning a military solution to the problem.
On the other hand, North Korea said it was going to conduct new exercises and test a missile that, according to official statements, could reach the western coast of the United States.
Against the background of these statements, gold prices suspended their decline, and at the moment gold is trading at the level of $1280.00. In addition, the price for the yen-dollar currency pair fell from a 12-week high.
