Alle Edelmetallexporte gestoppt?
Die PGM und da vor allem Palladium dürften betroffen sein. Da produzieren doch die Russen den Löwenanteil der WEltproduktion - 2000 waren es 161,7 von 242,3 Tonnen. Im Juli soll die Palladium-Nachfrage ja ruhig gewesen sein, das dürfte sich jetzt wohl ändern. Mal schauen was die Preise jetzt so fundamental anstellen.

>NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Most precious metals futures closed higher Wednesday, as Russia`s suspension of exports over the weekend sparked concern over near-term supplies.
>The Russian Ministry of Finance announced Tuesday the suspension of all precious metals exports from Aug. 25. The suspension results from a decree signed in June by Vladimir Putin that establishes new rules for precious metals exports but doesn`t provide adequate system controls, according to Ross Norman, director of TheBullionDesk.com in London.
>"Ironically, while the short-term impact of the announcement is some price firmness, the longer term impact can only have been to further weaken demand side fundamentals," said Norman, noting that industries will push ahead vigorously to substitute the metals in key applications such as autocatalysts and electronics.
>Following the news, September palladium tacked on 15 cents to close at $472.65 an ounce a day after touching a 3-week intraday high at $479. October platinum rose to an intraday high at $466.50 before slipping to $459.60, down $1.30.
>Metals stocks mostly higher
>In other precious metals action, most metals issues built on the gains seen late Tuesday.
