What happened to the palladium price in 2015

Palladium averaged $691 per troy ounce in 2015, down 13.9% from $803 the year before. The notable development of 2015: Commodity-wide selloff and China growth fears; VW diesel scandal shifts focus to gasoline catalysts.

Adjusted for inflation, palladium's 2015 average of $691 equals about $940 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.
