Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD eases from nine-month-old resistance to $2,300

Palladium snaps seven-day uptrend near the highest levels since September 2021.
Overbought RSI, failures to cross the key resistance line signals further weakness.
200-DMA, three-month-old horizontal support lures short-term sellers while bulls have a bumpy road to the north.

Palladium (XPD/USD) takes offers around $2,304, down 1.26% intraday, as the market’s risk-off mood drown commodities heading into Thursday’s European session.

In doing so, the bullion prices take a U-turn from a descending trend line from May 2021. Given the overbought RSI conditions, the latest declines are likely to last longer.

The same highlights the 200-DMA and a horizontal resistance-turned-support area from October 2021, respectively around $2,210 and $2,185, for XPD/USD sellers.

In a case where palladium prices drop below $2,185, the $2,000 psychological magnet and December 2021 top near $1,997, should return to the chart.

Alternatively, the metal’s run-up beyond the stated resistance line, near $2,340 by the press time, will aim for the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of May-December 2021 downside, close to $2,460.

Following that, the XPD/USD bulls will have a free hand to aim for the $3,000 round figure with tops marked in July around $1,720 and $2,880 likely acting as buffers.

GBP/USD appears well offered near 1.3160

GBP/USD builds on Tuesday’s losses, although it now manages to pick up some pace and bounce off earlier multi-month troughs near 1.3140. The Greenback’s solid performance and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD trims losses, hovers around 1.1350

EUR/USD now regains some composure and rebounds to the 1.1350 zone on Wednesday, partially reversing the prior pullback to fresh yearly lows near 1.1320. Meanwhile, spot remains on the back foot as the US Dollar continues to draw support from hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold puts $4,000 to the test, new yearly lows

Gold accelerates its decline and gyrates around the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday, its lowest level since November 2025. In the meantime, tighter-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the yellow metal, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has done little to revive demand for the safe haven space.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP trade under pressure as September Fed rate-hike odds increase

Bitcoin is trading between $62,000 and $63,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by headwinds stemming from macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

5.90% to 5.45%: Why the Pound ignored the bond market’s relief rally

Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, and the Pound barely moved. That near-silence is the tell. Sterling's real driver these past four months has not been the prime minister, nor the left-leaning frontrunner lining up to replace him, but the long end of the gilt curve, which answers to a force no British politician controls.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
