LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices hovered at 1220.5 per ounce in subdued intraday activity, marking a 1.17% decline. Traders reported muted demand across industrial segments, with limited follow-through buying from early-session interest. Market participants continue to assess supply flows from key producing regions and the pace of recovery in automotive catalyst demand, influencing short-term positioning.
Momentum indicators point to cautious sentiment, with technical resistance levels exerting pressure above the 1240 zone. Futures volumes remain contained, suggesting a wait-and-see approach among investors seeking clearer direction from broader precious metals trends and energy-related cost dynamics.
Key Drivers:
• Softer industrial activity expectations are moderating demand for palladium in autocatalyst applications.
• Stable supply projections from major producers are reducing concerns about near-term shortages.
