Palladium (XPD/USD) is correcting towards $2,850 after hitting a fresh record high at $2,897 on Wednesday.
The white metal rallied as much as 5%, taking out the previous lifetime highs of $2,882 set earlier this year, as investors fretted that the supply deficit issue would likely worsen amid a rebound in demand from the automakers.
Further, the rally in gold prices also bolstered the upsurge in the XPD/USD. Palladium is used heavily in industrial applications apart from it being a precious metal.
