Core Viewpoint - Palladium prices are gaining attention in the precious metals market, with expectations of breaking the 300 yuan/gram barrier amid significant increases in gold and platinum prices. However, achieving this goal requires careful consideration of supply-demand dynamics, industry changes, macroeconomic conditions, and capital flows [1]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The palladium market is at a critical juncture between traditional demand and emerging sectors. While traditional automotive demand remains dominant, it faces challenges from the shift towards electrification. Global sales of fuel vehicles are declining, but the rise of hybrid vehicles (HEV/PHEV) supports palladium demand, as they require three times more palladium than pure electric vehicles. Additionally, the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is accelerating, with each vehicle requiring 50-100 grams of palladium catalyst, potentially leading to a new growth point for palladium demand [1][3]. Supply Challenges - The palladium market faces significant supply challenges, with over 75% of global production concentrated in Russia and South Africa. Geopolitical risks and power crises are affecting these major producing countries. Western sanctions have limited palladium exports from Russia, while South Africa is experiencing frequent production cuts due to electricity shortages. Although recycling technology has improved, accounting for 15%-20% of total demand, it cannot fully compensate for the shortfall in primary mine supply [3]. Market Sentiment - Recent price increases in palladium are driven by market sentiment, influenced by the recovery of the automotive industry, escalating geopolitical conflicts, and supply chain restructuring. Global fuel vehicle sales rose by 4.8% year-on-year in the first quarter, breaking a three-year decline. Major automakers like Tesla and Volkswagen are accelerating their hybrid vehicle strategies, further boosting palladium demand. Additionally, production cuts in Russia and South Africa due to geopolitical tensions and extreme weather have led to the lowest visible global palladium inventory in nearly a decade, raising concerns about supply shortages [3][5]. Capital Flows - Palladium is becoming a key choice for capital seeking safe-haven assets due to its industrial and financial attributes. In the context of the Federal Reserve's hawkish policies causing divergence in the precious metals sector, palladium prices have risen against the trend. The A-share precious metals sector has seen significant net inflows into leading stocks, indicating strong market interest in palladium [5]. Technical Analysis and Price Trends - Technically, palladium prices are expected to maintain a short-term strong oscillation trend. Domestic palladium prices are fluctuating in the range of 272-274 yuan/gram, with an average price of 273 yuan/gram, up by 2 yuan from the previous day. International palladium prices have also risen, with spot palladium increasing by 8.00%, reaching a peak of 1149.99 USD/ounce. However, to break the 300 yuan/gram barrier, palladium must overcome several resistance levels, particularly at 250 yuan/gram and 265 yuan/gram [5]. Long-term Outlook - The long-term trajectory of palladium prices will depend on several key variables, including the stability of fuel vehicle sales and the continued increase in the share of hybrid vehicles, which are crucial for supporting traditional palladium demand. The acceleration of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle commercialization will also drive demand growth in emerging sectors. Furthermore, the stability of supply and advancements in palladium recycling technology will significantly impact palladium prices [7].
