Gold prices touched their highest price in 11 months Tuesday, as North Korea's latest missile launch pushed investors toward haven assets. The precious metal closed above $1,300 for the first time this year on Monday. A weaker dollar also continued to support gold prices for much of Tuesday's session, as the dollar-denominated metal becomes cheaper to foreign buyers when the U.S. currency falls.

ADRs in Fang Holdings Ltd. fell 3% to $3.51 as the Chinese real-estate portal said its revenue plunged following the company's pivot toward being a franchise business. Revenue fell 62% to $110.1 million, however, the company trimmed its net loss in the second quarter to $2.1 million from $40.6 million in the year-ago period.
