LIVE MARKET ALERT Palladium prices moved lower in intraday trade, slipping to around $2,000 per ounce, reflecting a 2.18% decline.

Market participants are monitoring liquidity conditions and currency fluctuations for signs of renewed momentum that could stabilize the metal’s performance later in the session.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking and weaker risk sentiment weighed on short-term palladium pricing.
