Gold prices fell in Asia with tensions on the Korean peninsula eyed after fresh U.N. economic sanctions against Pyongyang that were seen as weaker than expected, or pushed, by the U.S. The new UN sanctions on oil exports to North Korea are relatively moderate in scope compared to the original US proposal regarding oil exports, and would be unlikely to have much impact on the operations of the North Korean military.
"Under the new sanctions resolution passed by the UN Security Council on 11 September, UN members would only need to cap oil exports to North Korea at the average level over the past 12 months, although the new UN resolution also bans exports of natural gas liquids and condensates and caps exports of refined petroleum products to North Korea at 2 million barrels per year for the 2018 calendar year and 500,000 barrels for the last quarter of 2017.
