NEW YORK (Scrap Register): TD Securities sees more upside still in the cards for palladium even after it rallied some 24% from the late-May lows to where it left off in trading on Wednesday.
“We would not be surprised to see palladium test the highs near $725 an ounce recorded back in October 2015,” said analysts at TDS says.
The metal rallied 2.5% on Wednesday due to increased risk appetite and speculation about more monetary stimulus in China.
Given that Chinese auto sales which drive palladium auto-catalyst demand have picked up already in recent months, it is reasonable to assume that new stimulus could accelerate this trend and tighten this market.
