SHANGHAI, Aug. 21 (SMM) – NYMEX palladium has surged by more than 355 per cent since the beginning of the year, and NYMEX platinum advanced by more than 8 per cent over the same period.

Many suppliers held back goods after price gains, and some investors hoarded goods because of its investment value.

Volatile international conditions, underestimated value and market speculations were major three drivers behind its gain, said a person from one large domestic company, outshining gold and platinum.

Palladium price is expected to hover at highs due to supply deficit among other positive factors.

Canada's Power Metallic reported a 5.70-metre downhole interval at its Lion zone containing 2.48 g/t palladium and 0.26 g/t platinum, alongside copper and other metals. The company said the hole reached mineralisation below its current resource model, at nearly 800 metres vertical depth. Reported downhole length is not the same as true width. The assays indicate potential to extend this copper-PGE system below the existing model; further drilling is needed to define continuity and tonnage.
