Weekly Analysis
Precious metals trading volumes contracted last week, largely due to the shortened trading week due to the May 1st bank holidays. Gold and Palladium led the slowdown; each posting double-digit volume declines week-over-week. This drop was primarily driven by reduced spot and forward activity, which offset the growth in options and loan/lease transactions. Silver and Platinum mirrored this trend, also seeing increased volume in options and loan/leases. Broadly, prices softened for most of the metals, with Palladium standing out as the sole outlier, registering a 2.3% gain.
