Palladium was the dominant mover among tracked metals for the week ending 2026-05-22, falling 4.51% to $1,334.00/oz against a four-week downtrend, while platinum shed 2.83% to $1,922.00/oz; copper was the lone gainer at +2.08% to $6.38/lb. Gold-focused juniors dominated price action, led by TEX's 122.22% weekly return and WM's 40.0% gain, though the broader group also included double-digit declines.
