The US's anti - dumping preliminary ruling on Russian palladium and potential European sanctions have led to supply disruptions, supporting the price.

The outlook is also volatile and bullish [4]. 3.

The intraday COMEX gold price fell by nearly 1% after reaching a high, ending the previous four - day consecutive rise, due to factors such as partial profit - taking by investors and a slight rebound in the US dollar index [1] - The short - term gold price is supported by the uncertainty of US tariffs, the repetition of US - Iran negotiations, and the Middle - East geopolitical situation.

Key events to focus on include the US - Iran Geneva negotiation on the 26th, the release of January PPI data on the 27th, next week's non - farm payroll data, and Sino - US interactions [2] Silver - The intraday COMEX silver showed a "V - shaped" volatile trend with a gain of over 1%, and SHFE silver also showed a volatile and slightly stronger operation. The macro - driving factors of silver are consistent with those of gold. The impact of tariff policy changes is generally positive, while the postponement of the Fed's rate cut and the possibility of a US visit to China suppress the price. The spot - end driving factors of silver are still positive, with the risk of spot tightness in March remaining. Key events to focus on include the fermentation of spot tightness in March [3] Commodity Index - The comprehensive index of CITICS Futures commodities on February 24, 2026 includes special indices such as the commodity index, the commodity 20 index, the industrial products index, and the PPI commodity index, with corresponding increases of 1.86%, 2.23%, 1.14%, and 0.67% respectively [45] - The precious metals index on February 24, 2026 had a daily increase of 6.03%, a 5 - day increase of 3.79%, a 1 - month increase of 0.11%, and a year - to - date increase of 15.64% [46]
