What happened to the palladium price in 2009

Palladium averaged $266 per troy ounce in 2009, sliding 25.1% from the $355 average of 2008. Daily trading data shows palladium moved between a low of $175 and a high of $409 during the year, ending 2009 at $408. The notable development of 2009: Recovery off crisis lows on stimulus and rebounding auto demand.

The 2000s began with an extraordinary supply-crisis spike, as fears over Russian exports drove palladium to a record $1,094 fix in January 2001. The bubble then burst, and automakers thrifting and substituting away from palladium sent prices to multi-year lows before a mid-decade recovery.

Adjusted for inflation, palladium's 2009 average of $266 equals about $400 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
