Palladium prices fell on Tuesday as dollar rose against most major rivals while markets process latest policy decisions by global central banks.

 

US inflation clocked in the slowest read in two years, raising hopes the Fed might be ending the current cycle of policy tightening soon, which in turn pressured the dollar.

 

Chinese authorities also vowed recently to boost the struggling real estate market, in turn boosting minerals demand.

 

Recent weak industrial data in China weighed on sentiment considerably with manufacturing activities slowing down for the fourth straight month in China, while services and construction approach a contraction.
