What Happened to Palladium in 2000?
Palladium surged dramatically in 2000 as Russian supply disruptions combined with surging US gasoline auto catalyst demand. Ford and other automakers stockpiled palladium out of fear of Russian export cutoffs, triggering a short squeeze that drove prices to then-record highs above $1,000.
