LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices hovered near $1,829.50 per ounce, marking an intraday decline of 0.82%. The metal experienced measured selling pressure as market participants reassessed supply chain stability alongside weaker signals from the automotive catalyst segment. Traders appeared cautious, balancing near-term risk appetite against a backdrop of shifting interest rate expectations and muted speculative flows.
Market volumes remained relatively steady within a narrow trading band, with technical participants citing mixed momentum indicators around key support territories. Broader precious metals sentiment was subdued, with palladium trailing its sister metals amid slower industrial consumption and constrained investor hedging activity.
Key Drivers:
• Softening demand from the automotive sector is weighing on palladium prices as production trends recalibrate.
• Limited investor participation and tightening global liquidity conditions have restrained upward momentum.
