LIVE MARKET ALERT
Palladium prices edged lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted at $1,781.50 per ounce, marking a 2.14% decline. The retreat underscores a continuation of cautious sentiment across the precious metals complex as participants weigh macroeconomic signals and industrial demand trends.
With no major market-driving headlines emerging, traders are focusing on broader economic indicators and currency movements for short-term direction. Thin liquidity and modest risk aversion are adding to intraday volatility, keeping palladium within a narrow trading band after recent gains earlier in the week.
Key Drivers:
• Stronger U.S. dollar and firm Treasury yields have dampened investor appetite for non-yielding assets such as palladium.
• Automotive sector demand signals remain uneven, with supply chain adjustments and tighter credit conditions curbing buying momentum.
