What happened to the palladium price in 2013
Palladium averaged $729 per troy ounce in 2013, up 12.3% from $649 the year before. Daily trading data shows palladium moved between a low of $631 and a high of $787 during the year, ending 2013 at $717.
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 2013 average of $729 equals about $1,008 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.
