It used to be that..

It used to be that a few years ago palladium was the cheaper alternative precious metal for jewelry. If you’ve ever found some palladium jewelry and still have it around, it might be time to sell it. Currently palladium is close to $2600.00 an ounce. If you think that’s high, you should check out the price of another metal called rhodium.

I read at one time palladium was used in catalytic converters. But hey what do I know? I sold my palladium ring that I found last year. All profit for me. I was mad at time I found it because it was PD instead of PT. But when I sold it PT was not worth as much. Things change. Now if only tungsten and stainless would take off.

It still is. As a matter of fact, US diesel regulation changes and the subsequent high combustion engine designs drastically increasing the need for diesel particulate filters is one of the primary reasons that palladium has skyrocketed. It's much more efficient than platinum and rhodium.
