Signs of Lower Inflation Affects Metals

GOLD / SILVER

In a strange twist of historical fundamental focus the gold and silver trade today “need” evidence that inflation is moderating to extend the mini rallies started last week. Clearly, today’s US inflation report is likely to prompt a series of chain reactions through financial markets which will ultimately give direction to gold and silver prices later this week.

PALLADIUM / PLATINUM

With December palladium prices this morning trading $71 below yesterday’s high, it is possible that some short-term traders banked long profits from bargain hunting buying early last week to avoid potential volatility from the US CPI report. In retrospect, the sharp gains in PGM prices yesterday were partly the result of positive economic sentiment, spillover lift from other physical commodity market gains and perhaps from increased fear of fresh barriers to Russian PGM exports.

COPPER

With global risk on sentiment in equities extended into another session, many commodities like copper are posting modest gains in the early going today. However, even if global copper demand expectations continue improve, they are likely to be heavily offset by Chinese copper demand fears which are ramping up because of fresh Covid lockdowns.
