\"\"<\/a>Escalating tensions with North Korea have kept gold buoyant and hovering right under the highs of 2017 thus far. On Sunday, North Korea attempted a missile launch (non-nuclear) but it failed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153almost immediately\u00e2\u20ac\u009d according to South Korean and US military officials. The launch took place just hours before US Vice President Pence arrived in South Korea for a visit. Also, satellite images suggest that North Korea is ready and willing to carry out another nuclear test. This information comes just one day after North Korea warned that it would strike the US mainland at any sign of aggression from the US government (analysts believe it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have this capability yet though). VP Pence has remarked that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all options are on the table\u00e2\u20ac\u009d when it comes to North Korea and has warned the country to not test Trump\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153resolve\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Gold has stalled over the last few days ahead of formidable resistance at $1,300, but if the North Korean situation deteriorates further, it will easily break through this level. CFTC data showed that investors added to long positions on the Comex last week and the SPDR gold ETF\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s holdings stand at 27.2 million ounces, five month highs.<\/p>\n
