Data methodology →This chart separates the source observation, its period and its published unit from later currency or weight conversions.
What this price represents
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.
price-chart.com stores timestamped hourly spot references separately from its daily USD-per-troy-ounce reference observations. Hourly points are indicative market references, not executable dealer quotes or exchange closes. Monthly observations are nominal USD averages from the World Bank Pink Sheet where available; palladium uses means of stored daily references. Yearly values are means of the available monthly averages, with incomplete periods labelled. Period averages describe the stated interval, not a current executable quote. Currency and weight conversions change the display, not the underlying specification.
What a physical transaction may cost
Grade, delivery location, fabrication, taxes and dealer spreads can change a real offer. Use a matching specification and period when comparing prices.

Palladium by weight.
Custom weight & purity →Common fine-metal weights
Uses the latest reference of the frequency selected above. Values exclude product premiums and fees.
| Fine weight | Reference value (USD) |
|---|---|
| 1 gram | 41.51 |
| 10 grams | 415.07 |
| 1 troy ounce | 1,291.00 |
| 100 grams | 4,150.66 |
| 1 kilogram | 41,506.61 |
Fine weight versus gross weight
The reference values assume the entire weight is the specified metal. For an alloy, multiply net metal weight by its fineness divided by 1,000 before applying a fine-metal price. Deduct stones or non-metal parts first. A plated item cannot be valued as though all its weight were the surface metal.
A troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams. An ordinary ounce is 28.349523125 grams. A metric tonne is 1,000 kilograms. Use the weight worksheet to compare units or an entire batch.
For a purchase, compare the invoice with the premium calculator. For recovered metal, review deductions in the scrap payout calculator.
Read palladium with its own source and coverage
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.
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.
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.
Make comparisons meaningful
Use the platinum comparison to inspect relative movements. Gold and silver offer additional precious-metal context without implying that their supply or demand is the same.
In the comparison chart, each series starts at 100 on its first shared date. This compares percentage movements rather than equating the price of a tonne with the price of an ounce. For a physical transaction, also match quality, currency and delivery conditions.
Which product are you comparing?
| Product | What to check |
|---|---|
| Fine palladium | Use a palladium-specific reference and stated fine weight. |
| Alloys | Apply verified palladium fineness rather than assuming the whole item is precious metal. |
| Recovered catalysts | Use a measured composition and recovery estimate; this chart cannot value an unknown component. |
Recent yearly averages.
Download annual USD data ↓Original USD per troy ounce. These figures average the available monthly observations. They are not year-end closes or the mean of all daily prices. This archive retains the original source unit regardless of chart display settings.
| Year | Average (USD) | Monthly observations | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 1,470.05 | 9 | Partial period |
| 2025 | 1,151.15 | 12 | Partial period |
| 2024 | 1,001.93 | 4 | Partial period |
Partial averages can change as observations are added. Do not compare an incomplete year with a full year as though the coverage were identical.
Questions about palladium prices
Is the Palladium price live or a reference?
The daily series is a price-chart.com reference observation, separate from an exchange closing price or executable intraday quote. The displayed label, source and timestamp identify the observation. Polling a source does not make its underlying publication more frequent.
What can affect the Palladium price?
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. 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.
Which Palladium products need separate specifications?
Fine palladium: Use a palladium-specific reference and stated fine weight. Alloys: Apply verified palladium fineness rather than assuming the whole item is precious metal. These product differences mean one headline reference cannot price every physical transaction.
What do monthly and yearly Palladium prices mean?
Monthly palladium values are means of the daily snapshots stored for each month. Missing days leave a partial period. Yearly values average those monthly observations. The table flags incomplete coverage. A period average is different from a closing price.
How do I value a custom amount of Palladium?
Use the palladium value calculator for weight, fineness and currency, then inspect its scenario chart and weight table. A contained-metal estimate excludes unentered premiums, fees and non-metal components.
Where does palladium come from?
Russia and South Africa supplied most estimated palladium mine output in 2025. Canada, Zimbabwe and the United States formed a much smaller second group of producers. See the palladium production map and table.
How does palladium move from mines to users?
Nornickel mines polymetallic ores around Norilsk, produces refined palladium through its integrated processing chain and supplies a worldwide customer network. Automotive catalysts remain the central end market. Follow the documented palladium routes; they are explanatory relationships rather than live cargo tracking.
What is palladium used for?
Automotive emission-control catalysts are palladium’s main application. Electronics, chemical catalysts, dental and medical products, jewellery and investment form smaller, specification-sensitive markets. The end-use section separates the cited applications.
