Why Watch Palladium?
Palladium multiplied several times over between 2016 and 2022 and has swung hard since — a trader's metal more than a buy-and-forget holding, and a fascinating gauge of the auto industry.
Palladium vs. Platinum
The two metals substitute for each other in catalytic converters. When one gets expensive, automakers slowly re-engineer toward the other, which is why their prices cross over on multi-year cycles.
Supply Risk
Russia and South Africa produce most of the world's palladium. Sanctions, export controls, or mine outages in either country move the price immediately.
Palladium Price FAQ
What is the spot price of palladium?
The spot price is the current market rate for one troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium for immediate settlement, set by global interbank trading.
Why is palladium so volatile?
A small market with concentrated supply and inelastic industrial demand: when converters need palladium, buyers pay whatever it takes — and when demand softens, there are few other buyers.
Can I buy physical palladium?
Yes — Canadian Palladium Maple Leafs and .9995 fine bars are the standard forms. Premiums and spreads are wider than gold or silver because the market is thinner.
What happened to the palladium price in recent years?
A decade of deficits drove record highs, then EV adoption and substitution by platinum cooled demand. The full ride is on the historical chart above, back to 1990.
Does palladium follow gold?
Only loosely. Palladium trades on the auto cycle and supply news far more than on the monetary drivers that move gold.
What purity is palladium bullion?
Investment-grade palladium is at least .9995 fine.
