The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) postponed its final determination on anti-dumping and countervailing duties for Russian unwrought palladium. The commission moved the decision from its original May 19, 2026, schedule to a new date after May 27.
Sibanye-Stillwater initiated the investigation, claiming that subsidized and unfairly priced Russian imports harm the domestic industry. Preliminary rulings indicated that combined tariffs could exceed 240%. Russia remains a top global producer of the metal.
The delay extends uncertainty for commodity investors and industrial consumers. The prospect of heavy tariffs has supported palladium prices and redirected global trade flows. Market participants expect increased volatility as they await the revised ruling.
