This snapshot uses the latest shared monthly observation and an initial five-year window, shortened when the common archive is smaller. It stays on that labelled basis when you explore another chart range above.
World Bank Pink Sheet / price-chart.com daily metal reference · monthly mean. Monthly averages; not executable transaction quotes.
The shared monthly window runs from 2024-09 to 2026-08 and contains 24 aligned observations. The final indexed readings are 171.57 for Gold and 132.97 for Palladium; an incomplete endpoint is labelled and its percentage change is withheld.
Incomplete endpoint — percentage withheld from 2024-09 to 2026-08.
Incomplete endpoint — percentage withheld over the same observation dates.
Gold is traded as bullion, investment products and jewellery. Compare like-for-like purity and delivery terms before comparing prices.
Palladium is a platinum-group metal used in catalysts and electronics. Daily reference snapshots are available here; monthly averages are derived from the stored daily series.
Use the standalone gold price history and palladium price history to inspect each source series in its original unit. The commodity price archive provides frequency controls and individual CSV downloads.
Both source series use USD per troy-oz. Matching units make the nominal figures easier to read together, but Gold and Palladium still have separate specifications and markets.
Both sit in precious metals, yet their stated uses differ: Gold — Jewellery · Investment · Central bank reserves; Palladium — Automotive catalysts · Electronics. A shared category does not make the products substitutes.
The overlapping selectable frequencies are daily, monthly and yearly. Daily comparison is offered only when both stored series have daily coverage; otherwise monthly observations provide the common basis.
These subject–relationship–object facts keep the two commodities, their units and the chart method separate.
| Subject | Relationship | Object | Why it matters |

| Gold | is published in | USD per troy-oz | Read gold in its original source unit before converting it. |
| Palladium | is published in | USD per troy-oz | Read palladium in its original source unit before converting it. |
| Gold | is used in | Jewellery · Investment · Central bank reserves | These uses provide context for gold demand; they do not explain every price move. |
| Palladium | is used in | Automotive catalysts · Electronics | These uses provide context for palladium demand; they do not explain every price move. |
| Gold versus Palladium | is aligned on | 24 shared monthly observations from 2024-09 through 2026-08 | The chart compares matching dates and gives both series a starting index of 100. |
Gold can be compared in several different forms: a fine-metal reference, a bullion bar or coin, and a jewellery item. The number on this page describes the underlying reference series. It does not include the fabrication premium on a small bar or the design and retail costs of jewellery. Start with fine-metal content when comparing those products, then account for the costs of the transaction.
Investment and monetary demand: Gold is held by investors and central banks as well as used in jewellery. Changes in desired holdings can affect demand independently of fabrication activity. A price chart alone cannot identify which group caused a particular move.
Palladium is a separate precious-metal market. This site uses daily reference snapshots for palladium and derives monthly means from the available daily history. It does not substitute platinum prices or silently splice another benchmark into the series. Coverage is shorter than the long-running World Bank histories available for several other metals.
Catalyst applications: Palladium is used in catalysts and electronics. Changes in manufacturing specifications can alter the material needed for a product, so end-use context matters.
Gold and palladium are both precious metals, yet palladium is a smaller, application-sensitive market with shorter stored coverage on this site. The page keeps that coverage difference visible instead of treating both histories as equivalent.
Palladium monthly values are derived from stored daily snapshots and the common comparison window may be shorter than gold’s archive. Partial periods remain labelled.
Gold is associated with jewellery, investment and reserves. Palladium is associated here with automotive catalysts and electronics, so similar chart movement does not imply the same demand source.
A palladium-bearing component cannot be valued from gross weight alone. Gold jewellery also needs verified fineness. The two references are starting points, not product offers.
The shared monthly window runs from 2024-09 to 2026-08 and contains 24 aligned observations. The final indexed readings are 171.57 for Gold and 132.97 for Palladium; an incomplete endpoint is labelled and its percentage change is withheld. Change the chart range to test another starting point; the labelled monthly snapshot keeps its own initial window.
The overlapping selectable frequencies are daily, monthly and yearly. Daily comparison is offered only when both stored series have daily coverage; otherwise monthly observations provide the common basis.
Both source series use USD per troy-oz. Matching units make the nominal figures easier to read together, but Gold and Palladium still have separate specifications and markets. The indexed view answers how each stored reference moved from a shared starting date; it does not calculate a transaction return.
Both sit in precious metals, yet their stated uses differ: Gold — Jewellery · Investment · Central bank reserves; Palladium — Automotive catalysts · Electronics. A shared category does not make the products substitutes. Also confirm the observation date, grade or purity, delivery terms and costs that apply to the actual product.
