Palladium (XPDUSD) Perpetual Futures

Market Overview

Palladium is a rare precious metal primarily used in catalytic converters for gasoline-powered vehicles, with over 85% of demand coming from automotive applications. XPDUSD perpetual futures are driven by gasoline vehicle production rates, Russian mining supply (Russia produces ~40% of global palladium), and the pace of EV adoption which structurally reduces long-term palladium demand.
