Palladium (XPD)
A precious metal driven by the car industry.
XPD Live priceWhat is Palladium
Palladium is a rare precious metal whose demand is dominated by the car industry, where it is used in catalytic converters for petrol engines.
That single use makes its price unusually sensitive to car production and to emissions rules, and supply is concentrated in a few countries, mainly Russia and South Africa.
Those tight, concentrated supplies have at times made palladium one of the most volatile metals, capable of very large moves.
