What happened to the palladium price in 2011
Palladium averaged $738 per troy ounce in 2011, climbing 39.0% from the $531 average of 2010.
The 2010s were a powerful bull market. A persistent structural deficit, driven by tightening gasoline-engine emissions rules that favor palladium, carried the metal from around $530 to over $1,500, overtaking both platinum and gold late in the decade.
Adjusted for inflation, palladium's 2011 average of $738 equals about $1,058 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.
