Understanding Palladium

What Makes Palladium Valuable

Palladium is one of the six platinum group metals (PGMs) and has become increasingly important in modern industry:

  • Automotive: Over 80% of palladium goes into catalytic converters for gasoline vehicles
  • Electronics: Used in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) found in smartphones and computers
  • Dentistry: Palladium alloys are used in dental crowns and bridges
  • Jewelry: White gold alloys often contain palladium
  • Chemical: Catalyst in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions

Palladium Market Dynamics

The palladium market has unique characteristics:

  • Supply: Russia (~40%) and South Africa (~35%) dominate global production
  • Deficit: Palladium has been in supply deficit for most of the past decade
  • Substitution: High prices drive substitution with platinum in catalytic converters
  • Volatility: Palladium prices can be highly volatile due to concentrated supply

Palladium vs Platinum

Key differences between these sister metals:

  • Density: Palladium is lighter (12.0 g/cm³ vs 21.45 g/cm³ for platinum)
  • Melting Point: Lower than platinum (1,555°C vs 1,768°C)
  • Primary Use: Gasoline catalytic converters (vs diesel for platinum)
  • Investment: Available as bars, coins, and ETFs
