Palladium weekly special report based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:

PALLADIUM USE AND MARKET SHARE:

  • Palladium is mostly used in catalytic converters by the car industry to reduce harmful gas emissions while tightening regulation is forcing automakers to put more Palladium into each vehicle, which in turn could keep the demand outlook positive. Palladium has also been used in fuel cells to generate power.
  • MARKET SHARE (PRODUCERS): Russia is the largest producer holding 43% of the markets, while South Africa is the second largest with 33.00% of the markets. Canada is third on the list with 9.5% of the global production.
  • MARKET SHARE (CONSUMERS): China is the largest Palladium consumer with 31%, while Europe and North America (USA) hold 20% each. Japan stands at 11%.
  • RUSSIA EXPECTED TO CUT PRODUCTION IN 2024: NORNICKEL, THE LARGEST PALLADIUM PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, TO CUT PRODUCTION IN 2024. The Russian miner said the output of the metal may fall almost 15% to as low as 2.3 million ounces. The company said that its production was down 17% year on year in Q4 of 2023.

CHINA:

  • NEW STIMULUS PACKAGES IN Q1 OF 2024: CHINA CENTRAL BANK CUT THE RESERVE REQUIREMENT RATIO (RRR) FROM FEBRUARY 5. For some context, China went with two RRR cuts in 2023 i.e. one in March and one in September. They were both for 0.25% points each. There will be a hefty reduction this time around, as the Chinese central bank announces a 0.50% points cut to the reserve requirement ratio (RRR), from 10.5% to 10%. This could release around 140 billion dollars to the economy. This is on top of the expected stimulus of 278 billion dollars.
  • CHINA REOPENS ITS ECONOMY (2023): China’s COVID-Zero policy has ended. The Chinese government is no longer ordering lockdowns and quarantines. China’s Vice Premier Liu He said the economy could rise to its pre-COVID growth trends in 2023.
