Gold prices edged up on Tuesday, hovering around their highest levels in nearly a year, as North Korea's most powerful nuclear test to date underpinned haven demand for the precious metal.
Spot gold was up 0.1 percent at $1,335.36 per ounce as of 0700 GMT after touching its strongest since late September in the previous session.
U.S. gold futures for December delivery were up 0.8 percent at $1,340.80.
"Safe-haven buying's been fairly strong over the past few days but there's still a level of uncertainty about what the North Korean crisis will mean for markets," ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes said.
Stock markets were under pressure on Tuesday following a global selloff the previous day in the wake of North Korea's nuclear test, while the dollar slipped against the yen and Swiss franc amid signs the North could conduct more missile tests.
