What happened to the palladium price in 2023
Palladium averaged $1,337 per troy ounce in 2023, collapsing 36.7% from the $2,112 average of 2022. The defining story of 2023: Sharp decline as EV adoption and Pt-for-Pd substitution erode gasoline-catalyst demand.
The 2020s saw palladium hit record highs above $2,800, including an all-time high near $3,440 in March 2022 on Russia-sanctions fears, before a sharp decline as electric-vehicle adoption began eroding gasoline-catalyst demand.
Adjusted for inflation, palladium's 2023 average of $1,337 equals about $1,414 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.
