On the identical time, Palladium rose by round 8% to simply over $1,055 per troy ounce, which was a 3½-month excessive. Previous to this, a number of market observers had printed their new forecasts for Platinum group metals. Normally, these confirmed that the markets stay in a provide deficit.”
“Nonetheless, demand is anticipated to say no, in some areas even fairly considerably. Subsequently, the brand new forecasts can’t essentially be seen as the explanation for the value soar.
