About Palladium
Guide, trends & regional insightsPalladium Price Guide โ United States
Palladium is the most industrial of the four major precious metals โ over 80% of annual demand goes into catalytic converters for gasoline vehicles. That concentration makes palladium highly sensitive to the auto cycle and to Russian and South African supply, which together account for roughly 80% of global production.
United States
Palladium is tracked mainly via ETFs (PALL) and futures contracts on NYMEX.
How palladium is priced
Palladium (symbol XPD) is quoted in USD per troy ounce on the LPPM and NYMEX. Today's spot works out to $37.07 per gram and $1,153.00 per troy ounce in USD. Liquidity is lower than gold or silver, so bid-ask spreads are wider.
Palladium weight units
Troy ounce is the international benchmark. Investment bars come in 1 oz and 10 oz sizes; 1 kilogram exists but is rare at retail.
How to value palladium
Palladium is less common in jewelry than the other precious metals, but the calculation is identical.
- Identify purity (usually 950 for jewelry, .9995 for investment bars).
- Weigh in grams.
- Multiply weight ร fineness ร price per gram.
- For a 10g 950 item at $37.07 per gram, that's 10 ร 0.95 ร $37.07.
What moves palladium
Auto emission standards are everything. Tighter rules in China (China 6) and Europe (Euro 6d) have progressively increased palladium loadings per catalytic converter. Russian supply, which is roughly 40% of global mine output and a byproduct of Norilsk nickel mining, is highly politically sensitive. The rise of electric vehicles is a long-term structural bearish factor โ EVs don't need catalytic converters.
Palladium investment guide
Palladium suits experienced commodity investors who understand the auto cycle. Physical options are limited โ Canadian Maple and Russian Ballerina coins are the main sovereign options, and bars are mostly available from European refineries. Most retail exposure is via ETFs such as PALL. Storage and insurance costs are higher than gold or silver due to market thinness.
Over the past 7 days, Palladium has risen 0.87% in USD, moving from $1,144.00 to $1,154.00. Over the last 30 days it is down 11.23%.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is palladium used for?
- Over 80% of annual palladium demand is for catalytic converters in gasoline-powered vehicles. The rest is split between electronics, dentistry, and jewelry. Because demand is so concentrated in one industry, palladium is the most economically sensitive of the four major precious metals.
- Why did palladium prices spike so much in 2019โ2022?
- Tighter auto emission rules in China and Europe forced manufacturers to load more palladium per catalytic converter, while Russian and South African supply disruptions constrained output. The price quintupled from early 2018 to mid-2022 before falling sharply as EV adoption cut the structural need for catalytic converters.
- Can I invest in palladium physically?
- Yes, but with caveats. Physical palladium bars and coins (Canadian Maple, Russian Ballerina) exist but trade at higher premiums than gold or silver due to lower liquidity. Most retail exposure is via ETFs like PALL. Physical palladium is best for experienced commodity investors who understand the auto-industry cycle.
- How is the palladium price determined?
- The palladium spot price (XPD) is set by global commodity markets โ primarily the London Bullion Market (LBMA), COMEX in New York, and the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Prices are quoted in US dollars per troy ounce and update continuously during market hours. We convert the live USD quote to your local currency and weight unit in real time.
- Why is the palladium price different at my local shop?
- Local retailers add a premium over the spot price to cover refining, fabrication, shipping, dealer margin, and VAT or sales tax. Expect 2โ8% markup on bullion coins and bars, and 10โ30% on jewelry (the extra covers design and labour). Our prices are the unadjusted global spot, which is the raw material cost before any premium.
- How often do your palladium prices update?
- Our XPD quotes stream live and refresh automatically every 10 seconds during market hours, sourced from Gold-API, a specialist precious-metals data provider that tracks the global OTC spot price. Historical charts use daily London PM fix values for consistency with financial reporting standards.
- Can I use these prices to calculate resale value?
- The spot price is the starting point, but a dealer will typically offer 92โ98% of spot for investment-grade bars and coins, and 60โ85% of the melt value for scrap jewelry (after deducting for purity and weight loss during refining). Always check two or three dealers before selling.
