Palladium is going up, unlike gold, silver and platinum. I have no idea why.
"In contrast to most metals—indeed, most commodities—palladium has held up pretty well. It is the only major metal showing a gain, 18 per cent, over the past six months. It is also the only metal to have bounced back from April's selloff, up 6 per cent in May to $US740 an ounce.
Much is going palladium's way. Catalytic converters used for vehicle emissions control account for two-thirds of the metal's demand, weighted heavily to gasoline engines. That is important, because gas-powered vehicles constitute about 80 per cent of the global fleet, and the two biggest markets—the U.S. and China—heavily favour gasoline vehicles and are expanding."
