TRUMP: WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH NORTH KOREA TRUMP: MILITARY ACTION IN NORTH KOREA NOT FIRST CHOICE The announcement prompted a modest relief rally in the USD, as well as a knee jerk reaction across other markets, with gold and Treasurys both ticking lower, while the USDJPY has rebounded by 25 pips to just shy of 109.00.
