Palladium vs platinum

The catalyst pair, side by side.

Palladium and platinum both go into catalytic converters, and carmakers switch between them as the spread moves. That makes the pair one of the most-watched relationships in the metals market.

What's included

Everything you need to build with palladium.

01Second-by-second spot
XPD is polled every second. Every current plan reads the newest tick; only the legacy Lite plan reads a snapshot up to 10 minutes old.
02Bid and ask on every call
Every response carries the latest rate plus bid and ask, so buy and sell quotes come from one call.
03Troy ounce, gram or tola
Add include=gram or include=tola to get the per-unit price next to the troy-ounce rate.
04150+ currencies
Add quote=EUR, quote=JPY or any supported currency and palladium comes back already converted.
05History back to 1990
Daily palladium history through the historical, time-series and fluctuation endpoints, with the same symbol and key.
06All four precious metals
The same endpoint serves XAU, XAG and XPT, so one integration prices gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

XPD

What XPD means

XPD is the ISO 4217 code for one troy ounce of palladium. Request /v3/rates/latest/XPD and you get the spot price of one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) in US dollars, with bid and ask.

If your code still sends the old symbol PA to /rates/latest, it keeps working and is answered with the XPD rate. New integrations should use XPD.

Units

Palladium price per gram and per tola

The base rate, bid and ask are always per troy ounce. Add a unit and the API adds one field beside them:

  • include=gram — price per gram (troy ounce ÷ 31.1035).
  • include=tola — price per tola (troy ounce ÷ 2.66667).

Combine it with quote to get palladium per gram in your local currency in a single request.

Spot vs benchmarks

Spot palladium, NYMEX futures and the LBMA price

XPD is a spot price that updates continuously through the trading day. It is a derived market price, not an official benchmark.

NYMEX palladium futures trade in 100-troy-ounce contracts of at least 99.95% purity, for delivery in a future month.

The LBMA Palladium Price is set by auction twice a day, straight after the platinum auctions at 9:45 and 14:00 London time, and is run by ICE Benchmark Administration since 1 July 2026. Contracts that reference the fix should use it; apps that need a live price use spot.

Market

What moves the palladium price

Two countries dominate supply. In 2025 Russia mined about 44% of the world's palladium and South Africa about 37% (USGS), so sanctions, export rules and mine news from either can move the price sharply.

Most palladium goes into catalytic converters, especially for petrol cars, so car sales, emissions rules and the shift to electric vehicles all feed into demand. Platinum can replace some palladium in converters, which is why the two are often tracked together — see the platinum to palladium ratio.

Use cases

What developers build with palladium prices

  1. 01

    Catalytic converter valuation

    Recycling and scrap platforms value converters from their palladium, platinum and rhodium content, and re-price as the metals move.

  2. 02

    Bullion and dealer sites

    Show live palladium per ounce or per gram with bid and ask, in the customer's currency.

  3. 03

    Automotive and supply-chain costing

    Feed palladium into cost models for parts and components that use it, with history back to 1990 for budgeting.

  4. 04

    Portfolio trackers and alerts

    Track palladium next to the other precious metals and alert when it crosses a level, on the per-second feed on paid plans.

  • 01

    What does XPD mean?

  • 03

    Can I get the palladium price per gram?

    Yes. Add include=gram and the response adds a gram field (troy ounce ÷ 31.1035) next to the troy-ounce rate. include=tola works the same way.
