Palladium Futures Trading Basics
Consumers and producers of palladium can manage palladium price risk by purchasing and selling palladium futures. Palladium producers can employ a short hedge to lock in a selling price for the palladium they produce while businesses that require palladium can utilize a long hedge to secure a purchase price for the commodity they need.
Palladium futures are also traded by speculators who assume the price risk that hedgers try to avoid in return for a chance to profit from favorable palladium price movement. Speculators buy palladium futures when they believe that palladium prices will go up. Conversely, they will sell palladium futures when they think that palladium prices will fall.
