Palladium rises on improving investment demand

Precious metals except for gold advanced on Monday amid hopes the Fed will continue its loose monetary policy as Ben Bernanke said on Saturday that the US economy still faces downside risks. Moreover, persistent supply concerns lent additional support for platinum and palladium.

Gold was the only loser, being pressured by solid greenback. At the same time, speculation that physical demand from China will increase after the Lunar New Year holidays was supportive for the yellow metal.

Silver rebounded on hopes a recent fall in prices may boost physical demand. However, the grey metal remained under notable selling pressure amid weak gold prices and firm US Dollar.

Platinum rallied on escalated supply concerns after Anglo American Platinum reported about new clashes between rival groups at its Siphumelele mine.

Palladium jumped on signs of strong investment demand. Physical palladium ETPs witnessed inflows of USD24 million amid strong automobile demand in and a deficit on the physical markets as sales from Russia are declining.
