What moves the rhodium price

The rhodium price is the US dollar value of one troy ounce of rhodium, the rarest and usually the most expensive metal the API tracks. There is no futures exchange for rhodium, so the price is set by dealers and refiners. Metal Sentinel quotes it in the same format as every other metal, refreshed every 15 seconds.

  1. Emissions rules

    Rhodium is the most effective catalyst for removing nitrogen oxides from petrol exhaust and has no cheap substitute. Tighter emissions standards in China and Europe have been the main source of demand growth.

    Emissions rules tighten rhodium rises

  2. A very small market

    Annual supply is only about one million ounces, a fraction of platinum. With few participants and no exchange, modest changes in buying or selling produce large price moves.

    A few buyers move the market rhodium swings

  3. By-product of platinum mining

    Rhodium is recovered alongside platinum and palladium, mostly in South Africa. Miners cannot increase rhodium output on its own, so supply does not respond to price.

    Platinum output is fixed rhodium rises

  4. Recycling

    Recovered catalytic converters supply a growing share of rhodium. The pace of vehicle scrappage and the price itself decide how much comes back to market.

About Rhodium

What is Rh?

Rhodium is a very rare, highly reflective member of the platinum group, mined almost exclusively as a by-product of platinum and nickel extraction in South Africa. With annual supply under 30 tonnes, the market is small and illiquid, and the price can spike sharply. Demand is dominated by autocatalysts that scrub nitrogen oxides from gasoline engine exhaust.

Rhodium price questions

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

Why is rhodium so expensive?

Supply is tiny and fixed by platinum mining, while catalyst demand is inelastic. When emissions rules tightened around 2020, the price rose roughly tenfold and briefly approached thirty thousand dollars an ounce in 2021.

Why is there no rhodium futures market?

The market is too small and too concentrated for an exchange contract to attract liquidity. Prices come from bilateral trades between miners, refiners, car makers and dealers, which is why quotes can gap between updates.
