North Korean headlines hit during US time, so these are along the lines of more of the same rather than fresh and surprising

via Reuters:

  • N Korea says will never engage in economic trade with United States in exchange for giving up its nuclear programme -KCNA
  • N Korea says Trump will remain as failed leader if he follows in the footsteps of previous US presidents -KCNA
  • N Korea says will need to reconsider summit with US if Washington insists on North giving up nuclear programme -KCNA

Yen up a few (not many) points.

I think the market is becoming quite accustomed to the North Korean leader and his excessive sugar consumption induced outbursts
