Palladium weekly uptrend opportunity based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:
- Palladium has made a usual pullback below the mark of 2400, managing however to stay above its 100 Day Exponential Moving Average.
- Analysts believe that the recent price drop was of technical nature, while fundamentals are still pointing to a deficit even in 2021. This in turn may help Palladium prices recover.
- Recent data showed that the Chinese economy has continued to recover along with its car industry, which is one of the largest consumers of Palladium. China reported Q4 GDP growth rate of 6.5% year on year, beating expectations for a rate of 6.1%. Palladium is heavily used in the production of catalyst convertors in order to reduce gas emissions.
- In addition to that, Palladium supply could again be expected to come under pressure as South Africa, the second largest Palladium producer in the world, faces a new strain of the coronavirus, which could force some Palladium mines to close again.
