Palladium futures fell to $1,410 per ounce from the over two-year high of $1,670 touched October 16th, as optimism over US-China trade talks reduced demand for safety and pressured bullion assets. US authorities noted optimism on striking a trade deal with China ahead of their Presidents' meeting, limiting tensions between the world's largest economies and driving investors to pivot out of safety and into riskier assets. Still, palladium futures were 60% higher year-to-date due to tighter supply and a less-hawkish Federal Reserve. Palladium is set for a deficit this year as mine supply declines, led by lower output out of South Africa. Sibanye-Stillwater cut Stillwater output to 200,000 ounces/year, and Impala’s Lac des Iles mine will close in 2026. Also, the US has launched an anti-dumping probe into Russian palladium, citing unfair pricing and subsidies. Meanwhile, the Fed is due to deliver a second rate cut this year following a softer-than-expected inflation print for September.

Palladium Retreats Amid Trade Optimism

Copper is down by 4.26%

Corn futures climbed to about $4.30 per bushel, touching September highs amid stronger demand and constrained supply. On the demand side, weekly US export inspections remain robust, keeping near-term shipments elevated and reducing available physical corn, while ethanol production and exports remain high enough to keep domestic corn churn elevated. On the supply front, global inventories are thin once China’s strategic stockpile are set aside, leaving the world with one of the smallest stocks-to-use cushions in decades and little room for surprise. That structural tightness is compounded by worsening South American weather, where dryness in central Brazil and parts of Argentina threatens safrinha plantings and the second-crop flows that normally relieve next year’s balance. Finally, recent interruptions to official US data releases have raised the market’s sensitivity to physical shipment and weather signals, amplifying price reactions to confirmed crop and flow updates.
