Here is a closer look at what is driving these markets.

Platinum (XPT): Supply deficits deepen

Platinum is caught between surging demand and a supply base that simply cannot keep up. After three consecutive years of market deficits, above-ground stocks have plummeted 49% since the end of 2022.

What you should know:

• Every dip below key levels attracts buyers. MKS PAMP calls platinum "slow-burn supply tightness."

• Bank of America raised its 2026 forecast to $2,450, pointing to persistent deficits.

• Above-ground stocks have dropped 49% since the end of 2022.

Leverage: Up to 100x

Palladium (XPD): Smaller market, bigger reactions

Palladium's price swings tend to amplify because its market is smaller and more sensitive to headlines. When supply shocks hit, prices can spike quickly.

What you should know:

• Russia supplies 43% of U.S. palladium imports. Any sanctions create immediate upside pressure.

• The Commerce Department estimates an 828% dumping margin on Russian palladium. Tariffs could send domestic prices soaring overnight.

• MKS PAMP warns palladium lacks deep investment channels, making it prone to violent spikes when supply shocks hit.

Leverage: Up to 100x
