LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices moved lower in intraday trade, with the metal last quoted near $1,844.6 per ounce, reflecting a decline of 1.09%. Market participants reported lighter liquidity conditions, contributing to broader fluctuations across the precious metals complex. The tone remains cautious as investors reassess risk exposure amid mixed signals from industrial and automotive demand outlooks.
Technical analysts note that support levels appear firm around the recent lows, yet sustained recovery momentum remains constrained by profit-taking and subdued speculative interest. Despite the retreat, some traders are monitoring potential shifts in physical demand and supply chain developments that could influence short-term price direction.
Key Drivers:
• Weaker industrial demand expectations from key automotive producers have tempered palladium’s strength.
• A modest rebound in the U.S. dollar and firm Treasury yields are weighing on metals denominated in the currency.
