What is Palladium Bullion? Should I Invest?

Bullion is a precious metal, like gold or palladium, that is valued primarily for its weight, purity, and metal content rather than its rarity or collectible factor. So, for example, a palladium ring may not be considered bullion because its value is primarily from being a decorative piece. But a bar of .9995 palladium would be bullion because its main purpose is its value as a metal.

Bullion is typically what you should buy if you are purchasing palladium with the intent to invest. It typically comes in bars, coins, and rounds.

Types of palladium bullion

Coins 1 oz American Palladium Eagle and other government mint coins
Bars 1 oz and larger Mint-sealed bars from PAMP, Valcambi and others

What is Palladium? Is it Related to Platinum?

Palladium is a silvery-white precious metal in the platinum group, a family that also includes platinum, rhodium, and iridium, among others. It was discovered in 1802 and named after the asteroid Pallas. Like platinum, it resists tarnish and corrosion, and it works extremely well as a catalyst, which is why industry wants so much of it.

Palladium and platinum are close relatives, and they are often found in the same ore. The two largest sources are the Bushveld region of South Africa and the Norilsk area of Siberia in Russia, with smaller amounts coming from Zimbabwe, Canada, and Montana in the United States. Much of the world's palladium is mined along with nickel, copper, or platinum rather than on its own, so its supply depends on those other mines.

The two metals differ in a few ways. Palladium is lighter than platinum, and its price moves on its own schedule because most of its demand comes from gasoline vehicles, while platinum leans toward diesel engines and jewelry. Compare their 10 year spot price charts to see how each has moved.

Palladium Bullion vs Gold Bullion

Palladium is appealing as a bullion investment because of its rarity. It is rarer than gold, and it is only mined in a few regions, primarily in Russia and South Africa. Even so, it is usually bought and sold for far less than gold, which makes it easier to invest in.

Palladium has very strong industrial demand. Most of it goes into catalytic converters for gasoline vehicles, and it is also used in electronics, dental work, and hydrogen technology, so its price is closely tied to the auto industry and manufacturing.

Palladium is also lighter than both gold and platinum, and it is naturally white, which is why it is used in white gold and other types of jewelry.

Very rare. Palladium is rarer than gold, and only a small amount is mined each year. Most of the world's supply comes from Russia and South Africa, so a problem at a few mines can affect the whole market.

Even so, palladium usually trades for less per ounce than gold. See the live palladium spot price chart for today's price.

Nobody can say, and we do not predict prices. Palladium is a volatile metal. Its price moves with industrial demand (especially from automakers, and shifts toward electric vehicles that do not use catalytic converters), mining supply, the strength of the dollar, and investor interest, and it can rise or fall quickly.

Palladium is priced below gold today, but a lower price does not guarantee a future gain. Past performance does not predict future results, and you can lose money on any purchase.

This is general information, not financial advice. Talk with a licensed financial advisor before deciding whether palladium fits your goals.

The spot price of palladium changes throughout the day. Check our live palladium spot price chart for the current price per ounce and its history.

Spot is the price of raw palladium on the market. Coins and bars sell for spot plus a premium that covers minting, refining, and distribution, and the premium varies by product. See the current price of each coin and bar in our palladium shop.

Palladium is rarer than gold, but it usually sells for less per ounce. Price is not set by rarity alone. It is set by how much buyers want the metal compared with how much is available.

Most palladium demand comes from one industry, automakers, which use it in catalytic converters for gasoline vehicles. When the market expects fewer of those cars, for example as more drivers switch to electric vehicles, demand and price can fall. Gold, by comparison, is bought by investors, central banks, and jewelry buyers around the world.

Palladium prices also change a lot. It has traded above gold in the past, and today's price can look very different a few years from now. See the live palladium spot price chart for its history. A lower price does not mean a metal is a bargain, and it does not guarantee a future gain.

This is general information, not financial advice. Talk with a licensed financial advisor before deciding whether palladium fits your goals.

Most palladium goes into industry. The biggest use is catalytic converters in gasoline vehicles, which clean exhaust. It is also used in electronics, dental alloys, hydrogen purification and fuel cells, and as a catalyst in the chemical industry.

Palladium is also alloyed into white gold and used in some jewelry. Investors also buy it as bullion in the form of coins and bars.

They are close relatives in the platinum group of metals, and both are sold as bullion. Their prices move independently, so one can rise while the other falls. Compare today's prices on our palladium and platinum spot price charts.

Both go into catalytic converters: palladium mostly in gasoline vehicles and platinum mostly in diesel. Platinum is denser and is used far more in jewelry, while palladium is lighter, so a palladium bar is a little larger than a platinum bar of the same weight. Both can rise or fall in price.
