This page describes the palladium futures product overview provided by Japan Exchange Group. Palladium is a precious metal discovered in the early 19th century, belonging to platinum group metals, primarily used as a catalytic converter for gasoline engines. It is also utilized in dental treatment and as an alloy for 18-karat gold due to its excellent corrosion resistance. Supply is dominated by Russia and South Africa, which together account for approximately 80% of annual production. Palladium is largely produced as a byproduct of other metals, creating supply constraints. The spot market centers on the Loco Zurich market, with LBMA Palladium Price serving as the global benchmark.
