Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD’s rebound from 100-day EMA eyes on $2,500

  • Palladium prices consolidate the biggest daily losses in two weeks.
  • Previous support line from December 2021, 21-day EMA guards recovery moves.
  • Bearish MACD challenges upside momentum, 200-day EMA adds to the downside filters.

Palladium (XPD/USD) recovers from a fortnight low to $2,383, up 1.30% intraday heading into Monday’s European session.

The precious metal’s latest rebound could be linked to the pair’s inability to conquer the 100-day EMA, which in turn joins the recently firming RSI line to keep buyers hopeful.

However, bearish MACD signals and convergence of the 21-day EMA, as well as the support-turned-resistance line from mid-December 2021, around $2,500, appears tough nut to crack for the XPD/USD bulls.

Should the metal buyers successfully cross the $2,500 hurdle, the recent top near $2,605 and February’s high of $2,706 will be on their targets.

Meanwhile, a downside break of the 100-day EMA, around $2,320 at the latest, will need validation from the 200-day EMA level of $2,270 to recall the palladium bears.

Following that, February’s low of $2,195 and the $2,000 threshold may lure the sellers.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week. The pair’s pullback comes on the back of the strong rebound in the US Dollar after Chair Warsh delivered a hawkish message in Jackson Hole, while the US NFP Annual Revision came in at -79K.

Gold seems vulnerable above $4,450 as Fed hike bets, Iran risks support USD

Gold recovers slightly from a one-and-a-half-week low, touched during the Asian session on Monday, though any meaningful recovery seems elusive. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech was perceived as hawkish, raising expectations for a September rate hike. Adding to this, fresh US strikes on Iran keep the geopolitical risk premium in play, which acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar and should cap the bullion.

Week ahead: RBNZ and BoC decide on rates ahead of all-important US NFP
The US dollar staged a modest recovery this week, perhaps as traders decided to cover some of their short positions amid slightly stickier or in-line US PCE inflation numbers for July, confounding expectations of softer prints amid the softness revealed in the CPI data for the month.
CFTC Report: CAD short covering leads; Gold buying surges
The week in one sentence: speculative positioning shifted more constructively in the week to August 25. CAD short covering led the move, followed by a broad reduction in EUR shorts and renewed Gold buying. GBP and VIX positioning also improved, while JPY positioning deteriorated and WTI flows diverged from weaker prices.
Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
