IPC Index — Mexico MarketPalladium futures climbed toward $1,873 per ounce, recovering from recent lows and hitting a two-week high amid broader gains in precious metals, supported by expectations of US Federal Reserve rate cuts and elevated market uncertainty. Market participants are now anticipating two 25-basis-point rate cuts in June and September, signaling a potentially more accommodative monetary policy environment. The metal also benefited from safe-haven flows following a US federal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, as political tensions between President Trump and the Fed have unsettled confidence in US governance, boosting demand for precious metals. Separately, Bank of America raised its 2026 average price forecasts for platinum and palladium, highlighting persistent supply tightness compounded by trade disruptions and strong demand from China, which continues to support the physical market.
