Palladium Rises from Multi-Month Lows

2026-03-30 04:27 By Mariene Camarillo 1 min. read

Palladium futures surged above $1,400 per ounce, rebounding sharply from a five-month low as renewed US-Iran tensions stoked fears of disruptions to global metal supply.

Missile strikes across the Middle East and the deployment of a US amphibious assault group have intensified geopolitical risk, while a broader rebound in precious metals, including platinum and silver, has strengthened investor demand amid shifting interest rate expectations.

Adding further support, Russia’s Nornickel, the world’s largest palladium producer, highlighted rising industrial demand beyond the automotive sector.

The company is investing USD 100 million to cultivate new palladium markets and aims to generate approximately 1.7 million troy ounces of annual demand by 2030, including near-term applications in electrochemistry for anodes and water treatment.

Palladium Falls to 8-Month Low
Palladium futures hovered near $1,300 per ounce, retreating after recent gains to trade near an eight-month low as investors reassessed the outlook for US monetary policy and global economic conditions. Sentiment across the platinum-group metals complex weakened as higher energy prices fueled inflation concerns, reinforcing expectations of elevated interest rates. Additional pressure came from a stronger US dollar, which advanced for a third consecutive session after Federal Reserve officials signaled that borrowing costs may need to stay elevated if inflation proves persistent. Market participants also turned their attention to upcoming US labor market data for further clues on the Fed's policy path. Beyond macroeconomic pressures, palladium remained weighed down by weaker catalytic converter demand amid the shift toward electric vehicles. Still, losses were limited by tight supply conditions, including disruptions in South Africa and uncertainty surrounding Russian exports.
