What it is and what moves it
Palladium is used mainly in catalytic converters for petrol cars. Electronics and dentistry take smaller amounts.
What tends to move the price
- Petrol car production, and the shift to electric cars, which don't need catalytic converters.
- Supply from Russia and South Africa, which produce most of it.
- Swapping with platinum when palladium gets expensive.
Palladium rises and falls with petrol car sales, so electric cars are its long-run question.
