Palladium Is A Good Way To Hold Precious Metals."Palladium has a variety of uses. The oxidation-resistant metal is most commonly used in the manufacturing of car exhaust systems, and like platinum, reacts in a manner that combats pollutants. Palladium is also used as an alloy in jewelry, especially in the production of white gold. Palladium may increase in popularity among jewelers and jewelry buyers, as its prices tend to be much lower than that of platinum jewelry.Another notable feature is palladium’s ability to soak up huge volumes of hydrogen, which has become a focus for cold fusion and fuel cell research, according to . Although solid demand for palladium is apparent, palladium supply is much less predictable. Palladium and platinum are both among the world’s scarcest metals, according to . Furthermore, frequent production and supply problems in the two major sources of platinum and palladium—Russia and South Africa—add to volatility in the metals’ markets, according to the CMI Gold & Silver dealer website. More than half of the world’s annual supply comes from Russia alone, which has routinely withheld supplies of palladium from world markets for its own political and economic gain, according to the website for broker company Superior Gold Group. Supply disruptions can potentially result in extreme price swings for palladium, as evidenced by the panic that occurred in early 2001 among auto manufacturers. “[Because of] supply disruptions and a resulting panic by auto manufacturers (most notably, Ford Motor Co.), the price of palladium reached an all-time high of nearly $1,100 an ounce, approximately the same price as platinum at the time,” according to the Superior Gold Group website. The price spike nearly crushed investor demand, according to CMI Gold & Silver; however, palladium prices dropped back to $200 per ounce by the end of that year and investment demand has since returned. In the past five years, prices have fluctuated from less than $200 per ounce in March 2003 to $579 at the end of February 2008, according to . Recent prices are still significantly higher than what they were five years ago. Palladium's spot price closed at $453 per ounce on March 25, according to Prices for platinum, however, are significantly high in comparison. Five years ago, platinum sold for more than $600 per ounce, and a recent spike in the past month drove prices up to $2,276 per ounce."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(THIS INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM ")~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL AND I ONLY SHIP PRIORITY.
