Palladium climbed for a 13th session on Wednesday to trade near its highest since 2001 on concerns over supply constraints in major producer South Africa, while strong demand for the metal from the auto industry also underpinned prices. Palladium rose 0.6 percent to $872.60 an ounce by 0634 GMT. It hit a 13-year high of $873.75 on Tuesday. Platinum rose nearly 1 percent.
Spot gold rose 0.5 percent to $1,324.66 an ounce after earlier hitting a one-week top of $1,326, as Asian stocks extended losses to a one-week low after China's consumer price inflation cooled slightly more than expected in June.
