North Korea fires two 'unidentified projectiles' - Sky News

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Not one, but two 'unidentified projectiles' have been fired by North Korea from an area near Wonsan on its eastern coast, Ske News says on early Thursday.

The news report confirmed it from South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff that both the projectiles landed in the East Sea (also known as the Sea of Japan).

The details suggest that the first projectile was fired at 5.34AM local time and the other 23 minutes later, flying around 270 miles.

FX implications

While safe havens like the Japanese Yen (JPY) and Gold reacted positively to the news, it is still not a major movement, might be due to the absence of the US response, that should have been present considering the US-North Korea tension.

The Iran war didn't break the US economy, but what happens next?

Nearly four months after the start of the Iran war, the US economy remains remarkably resilient.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
