Palladium has a long and varied history dating back centuries. It was first discovered in the early 19th century and widely used as a commodity, both in jewelry and other industrial applications. As palladium usage increased, so did its value as an economic indicator, eventually making it part of the modern-day XPDUSD spread.
This historical importance makes palladium an essential part of many industries and economies today. Even more impressive is that palladium's value still holds strong - a testament to its resilience over time.

What affects Palladium prices?
Palladium price movements have been affected by several key events over the years.
For example, in 2001, a strike at South African mines caused supply disruption which drove prices significantly higher. Similarly, restrictions imposed by Russia on palladium exports in 2005 led to an increase in prices. On the other hand, macroeconomic factors such as US-China trade tensions and a stronger US dollar have had an impact on palladium prices, as well. The coronavirus pandemic has also weighed down demand for palladium, causing prices to drop sharply in 2020.
