Palladium price Palladium (Pd)
Palladium is a silvery-white platinum-group metal with atomic number 46 and the symbol Pd. It is considerably rarer than gold and silver. About 80 % of global demand comes from automotive catalysts — particularly for Otto (gasoline) engines — which is why the palladium price strongly correlates with global automotive-production trends. The main producing countries are Russia and South Africa.
Palladium price is the market-price quotation for the chemical element palladium (Pd, atomic number 46), commonly stated as a spot price per troy ounce or gram in EUR or USD, formed primarily at the exchanges of London (LPPM) and New York (NYMEX).
