Palladium, like many other precious metals, has been enjoying excellent growth in value since the financial crisis as savvy professional investors moved out of stocks and bonds, which were taking a swan dive, and into assets such as gold, silver, platinum and of course, palladium. These metals are typically used as a hedge against a weak dollar and inflation, especially in times of adverse economic activity.

As the recession has taken hold, the value of palladium has leapt with double-digit growth but the summer months (of 2009) have demonstrated a wavering in the price of many metals, and palladium is no exception.

Platinum is bouncing underneath the ,200 per ounce mark, gold is volatile, silver is hanging and palladium is stuck around 0 per ounce.

More disconcerting for metal speculators is that trading volumes are thin - the market is still and doesn't seem to know which way to move.

This directly led to the huge drop in platinum prices seen in the opening days of 2009 - such a capital injection from the US taxpayer was almost unprecedented and more than this, taxpayers around the world in developed countries were finding similarly large amounts of taxpayer cash was being pumped into the global financial system to keep the global economy afloat. He initial reaction of metal speculators, particularly those looking at platinum and precious metals as a safe haven in the very harsh economy, suddenly saw some light at the end of the tunnel - demand for platinum dropped and dropped like the proverbial rock.

First decide in your mind which thing you want unusual and indifferent. You want some precious stone or design, either you are looking for a brilliant cut or rosemary cut of an engagement ring, either you want indifferent settings or an elaborate ring, either you are looking for a gold ring or a diamond ring, either you want to have an opal ring or the one which suits your bride lifestyle?

A good guide is the hedge fund market - where many have laid the blame for the current economic malaise. For the year to date, the KDY-index has returned in excess of 17% from the basket of hedge funds it tracks - that's good news for those looking for super-bonuses and for those looking for recovery.

It is very bad news for those looking for future platinum value increases and signals that the time to sell has definitely arrived - for further proof, look at how the value of platinum has hit a plateau and is rebounding off the ,200 price ceiling - speculators and traders simply don't know which way they should be going and are waiting and watching to see what will happen next - the current round of earnings results in Wall Street are primarily positive.

Platinum is not going higher - sell
