PGM market report: outlook for palladium: supply & demand in 2016

摘要

In 2016, combined primary and second supplies of palladium should rise, mainly due to the anticipated reversal of hoarding in the autocatalyst recovery sector. On the demand side, continuation of the trends seen in 2015 is expected. Some further incremental growth in automotive and industrial demand will be balanced by a modest decline in jewelry off take, leaving demand in 'consuming applications' little changed. Once again, the direction of change in overall demand will depend on investment.
