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 184.07 for Platinum 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.
Platinum prices reflect demand from catalysts, jewellery and industrial applications. A refined-metal benchmark is different from the value of an unassayed scrap item.
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 platinum 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 Platinum and Palladium still have separate specifications and markets.
Both sit in precious metals, yet their stated uses differ: Platinum — Catalysts · Jewellery · Chemical processing; 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 |

| Platinum | is published in | USD per troy-oz | Read platinum 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. |
| Platinum | is used in | Catalysts · Jewellery · Chemical processing | These uses provide context for platinum 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. |
| Platinum 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. |
Platinum references are useful for comparing broad movements, but refined metal, jewellery and used industrial components are different products. The value of a recovered component depends on how much platinum it contains and how much can be recovered. The reference on this page does not authenticate a product or establish an assay.
Industrial applications: Catalysts and industrial processing are important contexts for platinum demand. A change in one application need not represent demand for every form of the metal.
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.
Relative platinum-group prices: Platinum provides a useful comparison. Keep the series dates and frequency aligned, and treat possible substitution as an application-specific question.
Platinum and palladium are platinum-group metals used in catalyst applications, making this a natural comparison. Substitution is still constrained by engineering, performance, supply and product specifications.
Manufacturers cannot necessarily replace one metal solely because its reference price is lower. Product design, emissions performance and qualification requirements matter.
Palladium monthly history is derived from daily snapshots on this site. The aligned chart uses only dates present in both series and labels incomplete periods.
Catalyst scrap can contain different platinum-group metals in different amounts. Gross component weight is not fine platinum or palladium weight.
The shared monthly window runs from 2024-09 to 2026-08 and contains 24 aligned observations. The final indexed readings are 184.07 for Platinum 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 Platinum 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: Platinum — Catalysts · Jewellery · Chemical processing; 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.
