The StockTalk Podcast Hosts Expert Panel on Palladium & PGMs
Palladium is a rare, precious metal – one of the six platinum group metals (PGMs). Its very name conjures up exotic images of a glistening, space-age metal with a price-tag that matches its scarcity. Its lustrous sheen has historically made it a popular choice for wedding bands and other jewelry, plus it is feathery light, wears well, is highly ductile, and doesn’t degrade like other precious metals. Its other uses include fuel cell technology, dental, chemical, and electronic applications.
But, it’s the automotive industry – catalytic converters specifically – that dominates its usage. PGMs work to scrub a number of toxic gases from automobile exhaust. These converters, and by extension Platinum Group Metals, are mandated by all governments in the world for every single gasoline and diesel powered vehicle.
