What happened to the palladium price in 2017

Palladium averaged $869 per troy ounce in 2017, climbing 41.8% from the $613 average of 2016. Daily trading data shows palladium moved between a low of $680 and a high of $1,072 during the year, ending 2017 at $1,063. The defining story of 2017: Structural deficit; palladium up ~56% and passes $1,000 late in the year.

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 2017 average of $869 equals about $1,143 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.
