Across the 30-day window, all four metals show softer price levels versus a month prior. Copper has declined about 4.0% from 6.779 USD/lb to 6.508 USD/lb, while palladium has fallen roughly 17.7% from 1277.5 to 1051.5. Platinum has dropped about 13.2% from 1800.8 to 1562.4, and silver has decreased roughly 16.6% from 64.71 to 53.949. In the shorter 7-day frame, copper dipped around 1.0% from 6.576 to 6.508, palladium slipped about 6.5% from 1124.5 to 1051.5, platinum eased about 5.3% from 1649.8 to 1562.4, and silver fell roughly 6.1% from 57.48 to 53.949.
The data point to a broad pullback in the metals complex over the last month, with palladium and silver leading losses, while copper shows more modest declines reflecting different demand dynamics. The dispersion between copper and the precious metal group underscores the need for careful monitoring of macro signals and liquidity flows for metals investors as of late October 2026.
