July 3, 2019: PALLADIUM SETS UP ANOTHER DOUBLE TOP PATTERN
Palladium is a very interesting metal that is used in various industry sectors as a component for automobile equipment/parts, medical equipment, and many other industrial sectors. It is a great leading indicator to help gauge future expectations for various global industries and as a measure of consumer/industrial consumption and expectations. When Palladium is rallying, it is a fairly solid sign that consumers are bullish on the global economy and are purchasing equipment, autos and other industrial elements to support future growth expectations. When Palladium is falling, it is a fairly solid sign that consumers are reigning in their spending on new cars and other industrial items that are manufactured with Palladium.
One of the biggest factors that are likely driving this move in Palladium is the renewed interest in Gold and Silver as the global market enters a very fragile period. Palladium is a precious metal that is used in jewelry and other consumer products – like Gold and Silver. Yet Palladium does not have the status in the precious metals world like Gold and Silver do. When fear and greed enter the markets, Gold, Silver, and Platinum take center-stage. Palladium, because of its more industrial use base, its not something that will rally like Gold and Silver will when a crisis hits.
