What Happened to Palladium in 2021?
Palladium spiked to $2,990 in May 2021 as semiconductor chip shortages disrupted auto production — creating a paradox of surging prices despite falling auto output. The second half saw a massive selloff as automakers accelerated platinum substitution programs. Palladium fell 23% for the year.
