What happened to the palladium price in 2015
Palladium averaged $691 per troy ounce in 2015, down 13.9% from $803 the year before. Daily trading data shows palladium moved between a low of $522 and a high of $833 during the year, ending 2015 at $563. The notable development of 2015: Commodity-wide selloff and China growth fears; VW diesel scandal shifts focus to gasoline catalysts.
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 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.
