north korea instability

Now with Kim Jong Ils death (YAY), there may well be a period of instability in North Korea as a power struggle may break out as the heir apparent is a rookie introduced to the scene only a year ago. I'm sure some of the generals will take this opportunity to conspire and take charge.

My question is, in this period of instability of where there is no leader, or if a new leader comes forwards but makes no intentions clear,and considering the North Koreans have nukes, what should happen to the gold price. Should we see people flock to gold as a safe haven or will that take a hammering in the case of potential nuclear detonation by the North Koreans.

The reason I ask is that this one thing could be the catalyst for nuclear war, if the North Koreans are dumb enough or arrogant enough to use nukes.
