Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD retreats from two-month top but not out of the woods

Palladium bulls take a breather around the highest levels in nine weeks.
Sustained trading beyond 100-DMA, bullish MACD signals favor buyers.
Further upside eyes horizontal area from October, short-term sellers aim for December’s top.

Palladium (XPD/USD) pauses a four-day uptrend around $2,135, down 0.30% intraday heading into Tuesday’s European session.

In doing so, the precious metal eases from a multi-day high, flashed the previous day, but stays on the bull’s radar.

Bullish bias over the metal remains intact despite the latest pullback as the quote stays beyond the 100-DMA level of $1,936, as well as December’s high near $1,998. Also supporting the trend are the bullish MACD signals.

That said, the latest weakness may aim for a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the May-December 2021 downside, near $2,115.

On the contrary, further XPD/USD advances will be challenged by a three-month-long horizontal area of around $2,180.

During the quote’s run-up beyond $2,180, the 200-DMA and a descending trend line from May, respectively around $2,215 and $2,345, will be crucial to watch.

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.
