Yen, Gold Climb Despite North Korea Missile Worry – 4 July, 2017

The Yen and gold are on a steady climb for the second day despite the sense of a rising global security risk following multiple missile tests by North Korea, rising concern the country could hit U.S. oil production. The Yen is up 0.2 percent to $113.11 per dollar, while gold rose to $1,227.47 per ounce, up by 0.3 percent.  Crude seems to be unaffected by the current uneasy situation, trading just below $50 a barrel at $49.63.
