Gold earns in Asia as NKorea tensions drive safe-have demand
On Monday, gold managed to earn in Asia after at the weekend North Korea claimed to have tested its hydrogen bomb, thus powering regional global tension on worries of a military conflict, which could involve South Korea, Japan, China and the United States.
