LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices moved lower in intraday trading, with the metal quoted around $1,448 per ounce, marking a decline of 2.98%. The retreat follows subdued physical demand across automotive and industrial segments, where slower production rates have weighed on consumption of the autocatalyst metal.
Market participants report cautious positioning among traders amid concerns over broader economic activity and substitution trends favoring alternative metals. The technical outlook suggests resistance near recent highs, while momentum indicators point toward consolidation as liquidity conditions remain moderate.
Key Drivers:
• Reduced industrial and automotive demand expectations continue to pressure palladium prices.
• Technical selling and investor repositioning add to intraday downside momentum.
