LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices are trading near 1,710 USD per ounce, showing a sharp 2.9% decline in intraday action. The metal has come under renewed selling pressure as traders reassess industrial demand prospects and maintain caution in response to shifting expectations for global economic activity. Low trading liquidity has intensified price fluctuations, adding volatility to an already cautious market tone.
Market participants are closely monitoring signals from the automotive and industrial sectors, where palladium plays a critical role in catalytic converter manufacturing. Technical positioning suggests that a breach below recent support zones may invite additional speculative selling, while any improvement in physical demand sentiment could provide short-term relief. Overall, sentiment remains fragile as investors weigh macroeconomic uncertainties against long-term supply constraints.
Key Drivers:
• Weaker industrial demand outlook amid cooling global growth expectations.
• Technical selling pressure amplified by thinning liquidity in intraday trading.
