Johnson Matthey’s 14 May 2026 report announcement connects the outlook for palladium with vehicle production, primary supply and automotive recycling. It describes a possible small 2026 surplus, rather than a settled full-year outcome.
Reading limitation: May outlook, not a November update. Do not directly equate methodologies across publishers.
