Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD to sink towards $1,092 on a dip below 2021 low of $1,542 – Credit Suisse

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Palladium is under pressure. Nevertheless, only below the $1,542 low of 2021 would mark a major top, changing significantly the trend lower, economists at Credit Suisse report.

Resistance at $2,095/2,120 set to cap

“We see risk for a test of long-term support at $1,594/$1,542 – the 61.8% retracement of the entire 2016/2022 bull trend and key low of 2021. Only below here though (and then quickly ideally $1,495) would see a major top established to mark a significant change of trend lower, with supports then seen next at $1,268, ahead of $1,140 and then the 78.6% retracement at $1,092.”

“Resistance from the recent reaction high and 200-day average at $2,095/$2,120 ideally caps to keep the immediate risk lower.”

GBP/USD drops to multi-month troughs near 1.3140

GBP/USD adds to Tuesday’s pullback and recedes to the lowest level since November 2025 near 1.3140. A firmer Greenback and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD bounces off YTD lows around 1.1320

EUR/USD extends its decline on Wednesday, falling to fresh yearly lows near 1.1320. The pair remains on the defensive as the US Dollar continues to draw support from hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold trims losses, back above $4,000

Gold retreats further and breaches below the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce for the first time since November 2025 on Wednesday. Higher-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the precious 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.
