What moves the palladium price

The palladium price is the US dollar value of one troy ounce of palladium for immediate delivery. It is the most car-dependent of the precious metals and has produced some of the sharpest rallies and crashes in commodity markets. Metal Sentinel returns the live spot quote and day range in 180 or more currencies.

  1. Gasoline autocatalysts

    Around eighty percent of palladium goes into catalytic converters for petrol and hybrid engines. Global light-vehicle production and emissions standards drive demand.

    Car production rises palladium rises

  2. Concentrated supply

    Russia and South Africa together mine most of the world's palladium, with a single Russian producer supplying close to forty percent. Sanctions risk and mine outages move the price quickly.

    Russian exports are at risk palladium rises

  3. Substitution and thrifting

    High prices in 2020 to 2022 pushed car makers to use less palladium per vehicle and to swap in platinum. That lost demand does not come back when prices fall.

    Manufacturers thrift palladium falls

  4. Electric vehicle adoption

    Battery-electric cars need no catalyst, so long-term forecasts hinge on how fast they replace combustion engines. Hybrids, which still use palladium, slow that decline.

About Palladium

What is Pd?

Palladium is a lustrous, silvery-white precious metal in the platinum group. Roughly 80% of demand comes from gasoline autocatalysts, where it converts harmful exhaust gases into less-toxic emissions. Russia and South Africa dominate mine supply, so the price is unusually sensitive to geopolitics. Spot palladium is fixed twice daily by the London Platinum and Palladium Market.

Palladium price questions

Questions people ask before they wire the palladium price into a product.

Why is palladium so volatile?

The market is small, supply comes from two countries, and demand comes mostly from one industry. Any shock to Russian exports or car production has nowhere to be absorbed, so prices swing hard.

Will electric cars end palladium demand?

Not quickly. Hybrids use as much palladium as petrol cars, and combustion engines will be built for years in most markets. Demand is expected to decline gradually rather than collapse.
