What is Palladium?

Palladium: the metal that cleans petrol-engine exhaust.

Palladium’s use is even more concentrated than platinum’s: about four fifths goes into catalytic converters for petrol vehicles. Russia and South Africa produce most of it.

That makes it a bet on petrol-car production and on supply from two countries. Sanctions news and the shift to electric vehicles are its main long-term forces. On this venue it trades thinly, and only on Binance.
