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 regulations are 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 market, while South Africa is the second largest with 33.00% of the market. 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%.
EVENTS (USA):
- MONDAY, MARCH 2 AT 14:45 GMT: USA MANUFACTURING PURCHASING MANAGERS INDEX (PMI) (FEBRUARY). A stronger-than-expected PMI reading would signal improving factory activity in the U.S., supporting vehicle production and industrial demand, reinforcing a positive outlook for palladium prices.
- FRIDAY, MARCH 6 AT 13:30 GMT: USA NON-FARM PAYROLLS (NFP) & UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (FEBRUARY). Weaker-than-expected job growth and a higher unemployment rate could increase expectations of Fed rate cuts, potentially weighing on the U.S. dollar and supporting precious metals, including palladium.
EVENTS (CHINA):
- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4 AT 01:30 GMT: CHINA MANUFACTURING PURCHASING MANAGERS INDEX (PMI) (FEBRUARY). A stronger-than-expected PMI reading would signal improving factory activity in China, supporting vehicle production and industrial demand, which would be positive for palladium prices.
- MONDAY, MARCH 9 AT 01:30 GMT: CHINA INFLATION DATA (CPI) (FEBRUARY). A stronger CPI reading would point to improving domestic demand in China, supporting vehicle sales and manufacturing activity, both key drivers of palladium consumption.
- TUESDAY, MARCH 10 AT 03:00 GMT: CHINA EXPORTS AND IMPORTS DATA (FEBRUARY). Stronger-than-expected trade figures would signal improving global and domestic demand, supporting manufacturing output and auto production, reinforcing a positive outlook for palladium prices.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
- PALLADIUM PRICE ABOVE 20-, 50-, AND 100-DAILY MOVING AVERAGES: Palladium price has remained above its 20-, 50-, and 100-day moving averages, indicating a potential uptrend. The trend could reverse if Palladium price goes below these averages.
- SUPPORT AREA: $1500 – $1600. This zone represents its next support area for Palladium prices.
- PALLADIUM HIT AN ALL-TIME HIGH OF $3,409 (March 2022): Palladium price has traded around $1,880, and if a full recovery takes place, the price of palladium could see an upside of around 81%. Although the price could decline as well.
