Palladium tops $1,000 an ounce
16th October 2017
A great example of price volatility to use in microeconomics lessons!
The market price of palladium has climbed above $1000 per ounce for the first time in 16 years, driven higher by increasing car demand and by shortages of supply.
It is unusual for palladium to have a higher market price than platinum.
Palladium demand is expected to grow to 10.13 million ounces in 2017— exceeding 10 million ounces for the first time since 2014. The market expected a supply deficit of nearly 800,000 ounces this year and this scarcity is the main factor causing the spot price of palladium to rise so sharply.
