Gold was long the most valuable of precious metals, until, suddenly, it wasn’t. Last week, an obscure and far less sexy rival called #palladium swung ahead, for the first time in 16 years. It is a cousin of platinum and traditionally much less expensive. #Gold briefly retook the lead, but spot palladium prices have beaten out gold prices for the past 3 days. Until recently, palladium was perhaps best known for sharing a name with several popular entertainment venues and for powering the fictional arc reactor mechanism hooked up to Iron Man’s heart. Its primary purpose is far less glamorous: More than 80% of the world’s palladium is used in the catalytic converters that help vehicles manage their pollutant output. @jeenahmoon took this photo of palladium inside a catalytic converter at Alpha Recycling in the Bronx, New York.
