Palladium is a rare precious metal primarily used in vehicle catalytic converters. Its supply is concentrated in very few countries, making its price highly volatile.
Why Does Palladium Price Rise Or Fall Daily?
Daily palladium price movements are affected by automotive demand, supply disruptions in Russia and South Africa, and electric vehicle adoption trends. Over the last 30 days, palladium prices have generally trended upwards.
Disruptions at PT Freeport's smelter furnace in Gresik are a background factor for recent palladium price movements. As reported by Katadata: "Preliminary assessments estimate repairs will be completed in the third quarter of 2026".
Freeport's production recovery following a landslide is proceeding gradually until 2027. This trend impacts global precious metal supply including palladium. As reported by Katadata: "Metal production is also expected to increase incrementally".
