Gold goes down in Asia after fresh UN sanctions on North Korea
On Tuesday, gold declined in Asia trade, with tensions on the Korean peninsula closely watched after fresh UN economic sanctions against North Korea turned to be weaker than expected.

Huge storms have flooded areas across South Florida, ruining power lines and trees. It has left more than 2 million people without power.
