March 14 (Reuters) - Palladium slumped nearly 17% in a sharp correction after rallying to an all-time high on the Ukraine crisis, as worries eased that supplies of the autocatalyst metal from top producer Russia may be hit.
Progress in Russia-Ukraine peace talks also drove a nearly 2% retreat in gold.
Palladium, used in car engine exhausts to reduce emissions, dipped 14.2% to $2,415.49 per ounce by 02:01 p.m. ET (1801 GMT), facing its biggest daily percentage drop in two years. It fell as much as 16.8% earlier in the session.
Platinum dropped 3.6% to $1,040.29.
Russian mining giant Nornickel's biggest shareholder told Russian RBC TV that the group managed to secure alternative routes for its deliveries of palladium despite logistical issues.
"There's been a sudden shift of expectations that there might not be much disruption with exports and that we could start to be seeing some demand destruction for the chip sector and auto manufacturers," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.
Expectations that the peak in palladium may have already passed could also be driving this "excessive sell-off," with prices likely to remain volatile in the short term, Moya added.
Spot gold was down 1.4% to $1,957.57 per ounce. U.S. gold futures settled 1.2% lower to $1,960.80.
Silver dropped 2.7% to $25.11.
"There are some potentially positive developments on the Russia-Ukraine war front and that has rallied equities markets and dented the metals markets," Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals, wrote in a note.
Also pressuring non-yielding bullion, benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields jumped, as the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates this week.
Despite a risk-on mood across markets, "I wouldn't call this (the recent rally) the peak in gold just yet, because this (Ukraine) situation is still uncertain. It's so fluid," Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said.
