About Palladium

Palladium is a rare platinum group metal with outstanding catalytic properties, particularly for gasoline engine emissions control. Global supply is highly concentrated and demand consistently outstrips production.

What drives Palladium prices

Palladium is essential for meeting automotive emissions standards worldwide, with supply heavily dependent on just two countries. Demand is driven primarily by Gasoline catalytic converters, Electronics and multilayer ceramic capacitors, Dental alloys and crowns. Supply is concentrated in Russia, South Africa, Canada, so output disruptions or trade-policy shifts in those countries are the main long-run drivers of Palladium prices.
