Anyone else feeling a bit of whiplash after the Fed announcement today? I know it was expected, but seeing that rate hike solidified just makes me a touch uneasy when I look at the broader economic picture. I've been eyeing my Palladium IRA pretty closely the last few months, especially with all the talk about recession and inflation. I'm sitting on about $700k across my retirement accounts, with a decent chunk of that in physical palladium, diversified with some gold and silver too.

My logistics business here in Memphis has been good, thankfully, but I’m actively working on a succession plan for the next 3-5 years. The last thing I need is a massive market correction throwing a wrench into my retirement strategy. My advisor originally steered me towards palladium mostly for its industrial demand angle – catalysts, electronics, that kind of thing – thinking it had good insulation from some of the more volatile financial swings. And it has, for the most part been a solid performer for me.

But with rates going up, energy costs, and general economic slowdowns globally, industrial demand could soften, right? I'm wondering if anyone out there with a significant palladium holding is rethinking their allocation or considering rebalancing? Are you seeing anything in your respective industries that makes you bullish or bearish on palladium specifically over the next 12-24 months?

Just trying to get a read on what others are thinking. It's easy to get tunnel vision with your own portfolio. Always appreciate different perspectives from this group.
