Supply shortage remains severe
In the March 2019 issue, we reported that for the first time in 16 years, palladium had risen above gold in price. At that time, palladium was deemed to have a good chance of reaching the $1,300 range. However, palladium’s subsequent rise surpassed expectations, reaching $1,782 on October 17, 2019 (see Chart 1).
