Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) are back on the bid in PGMs, as the recovery in prices catalyzes buying programs in both Platinum and Palladium, TD Securities Senior Commodity Strategist Daniel Ghali suggests.

The odds of a leg higher in Palladium rise

“Has the short-squeeze in Palladium run its course? Our advanced positioning analytics suggest CTAs are back on the bid in PGMs, as the recovery in prices catalyzes buying programs in both Platinum and Palladium, raising the odds of a renewed leg higher in Palladium prices.”

“Our simulations of 500 scenarios for future prices over the next week suggest that CTAs could cover their entire short book in Palladium in an uptape. The squeeze on systematic Palladium shorts may still have some room to run.”
