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 217.28 for Silver 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.
Silver combines investment demand with industrial uses. A spot reference excludes the fabrication premium, delivery and taxes on physical coins and bars.
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 silver 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 Silver and Palladium still have separate specifications and markets.
Both sit in precious metals, yet their stated uses differ: Silver — Solar cells · Electronics · Bullion; 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | is published in | USD per troy-oz | Read silver 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. |
| Silver | is used in | Solar cells · Electronics · Bullion | These uses provide context for silver 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. |
| Silver 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. |
Silver price comparisons become more useful when the metal reference and the physical product are kept separate. A coin, a large bar and recovered industrial silver can have different fabrication, distribution and recovery costs. The historical reference provides context; fine weight and an actual offer determine the transaction calculation.
Fabrication and industrial use: Silver appears in electrical and solar applications as well as jewellery and bullion. Changes in manufacturing requirements can affect demand differently from changes in investment holdings.
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.
Supply and recycling: Recovered components can contribute material, but recovery depends on composition and processing. The gross weight of a component is not its palladium weight.
Silver and palladium share some broad electronics context but differ in market size, product forms and catalyst exposure. The standalone page is retained to show aligned performance without implying that one is a substitute for the other.
“Industrial demand” covers many applications. Silver’s solar and electrical uses are not the same products as palladium-bearing catalysts or electronic components.
Palladium’s stored history is shorter. The comparison starts at the first shared date and never fills missing values with zero.
Silver scrap and palladium-bearing components require composition and recovery assumptions. Reference price movement alone cannot determine a buyer payout.
The shared monthly window runs from 2024-09 to 2026-08 and contains 24 aligned observations. The final indexed readings are 217.28 for Silver 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 Silver 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: Silver — Solar cells · Electronics · Bullion; 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.
