Palladium is a lesser-known option for precious metals investors compared to gold and silver, but there are several avenues for investing in the platinum-group metal.

Recently, growing demand and a supply deficit and increased interest have driven interest in ways to invest in palladium. At the same time, precious metals such as gold, silver and the platinum group metals are seeing an influx of safe-haven buying.

Here’s an overview of different ways that market participants can invest in palladium, including profiles of palladium stocks, plus palladium ETFs, bullion and futures.

In this article

    What is palladium?

    Palladium is a silver-white precious metal that is ductile, durable and resistant to corrosion. The metal also has a high melting point. Its symbol on the periodic table of elements is Pd.

    Palladium is included in the platinum-group metals (PGMs) category, which also includes platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium.

    What is palladium used for? Palladium’s biggest use is in catalytic converters in gasoline-powered vehicles as it converts pollutants like hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into water, carbon dioxide and more.

    Palladium demand trends

    Total palladium demand for 2025 is expected to come in at 9.63 million ounces, down about 4 percent from the previous year’s demand, according to the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), which provides quarterly market overviews.

    Palladium’s four biggest demand sectors are automotive at 80.7 percent, industrial at 14.1 percent, investment at 2.9 percent and jewelry at 2.3 percent.

    In the automotive industry, palladium is used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems, especially for gasoline engines. High prices for the metal in the early 2020s led to its sister metal platinum being increasingly substituted for palladium.

    Demand from this sector is expected to decline by more than 4 percent year-on-year in 2025 to 7.74 million ounces as global auto sales and production are dropping during this period of economic uncertainty.

    Another important factor impacting this segment of the market is the growing market for electric vehicles (EVs), which do not require catalytic converters as they don’t create polluting emissions. The transition to electric is placing downward pressure on palladium demand from the auto sector. However, the slowdown in EV adoption worldwide is lessening the impact.

    Demand dynamics are shifting within the auto sector following the enactment of the Trump Administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Part of the legislation includes an end to EV tax credits that provided up to US$7,500 to consumers who purchased an EV.

    Palladium supply trends

    In top palladium country South Africa, there have been many mine disruptions in recent years, largely due to strikes, energy shortages and a lack of long-term investment in production facilities. Despite those risks, miners are still moving forward with palladium development in the region.

    Russia is the source of 39 percent of global mined palladium supply. The country’s war in Ukraine has placed it at the other end of the sanctions sword as the world’s leaders try to force President Vladimir Putin to end the bloodshed. In April 2022, bourses in London and Chicago suspended two state-owned Russian refiners from their goods-delivery and sponge-accreditation lists. The US and UK took further steps in 2024 to banned trading of refined Russian metals, including palladium, from exchanges.

    Despite a 4 percent decline year-over-year in palladium supply, the WPIC estimates that palladium is set to face supply deficits in 2025 and 2026. This is a continuation of an ongoing supply-demand imbalance in the palladium market. Mine supply of the metal is expected to decline by a compound annual growth rate of 1.1 percent from 2024 to 2029.

    In 2025, according to WPIC estimates, palladium supply will see a shortfall of 260,000 ounces of the metal, down significantly from the 689,000 ounce deficit recorded in the previous year.

    The market is expected to transition into a surplus in 2027. However, that outlook could change if the palladium recycling segment does not ramp up.

    “Notably, the forecast of palladium going into surplus is entirely contingent on recycling supply growth,” states the WPIC. “If this does not materialise then palladium could remain in a deficit for the foreseeable future, which could materially alter palladium value expectations.”

    How to invest in palladium

    Investors who want exposure to palladium’s market dynamics and the palladium price may be interested in investing in the metal. There are several ways to invest in palladium, including palladium mining stocks, PGM ETFs, palladium bars and coins, and palladium futures.

    Palladium stocks

    One option investors can use to gain exposure to palladium is investing in palladium mining stocks and junior exploration stocks. Investors can buy palladium stocks through stock brokers and online stock-trading platforms.

    Investing in primary palladium companies can be tricky, as most of the world’s palladium is produced as a by-product of platinum and nickel mines. However, companies with diversified exposure to metals can also provide protection during down markets for palladium with revenue from their other products.

    To help you learn about palladium stocks you can buy, we profile palladium miners and junior PGM exploration companies below.

    Major palladium mining stocks

    Eastern Platinum (TSX:ELR,OTC Pink:ELRFF)
    Eastern Platinum, or Eastplats, has a number of directly and indirectly owned PGM assets in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa. Eastplats is ramping up production of PGMs, including palladium, and chrome concentrates at Crocodile River’s new Zandfontein underground mine.

Rottenstone is situated adjacent to a northeast-southwest geological formation connected to the historic Rottenstone mine, which produced nickel, PGMs and gold, although Ramp is currently focused on gold and copper at the site.

    Palladium ETFs

    Palladium-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and products (ETPs) track the precious metal like an index fund, but trade like stocks on an exchange. These palladium and PGM ETFs allow US, Canadian and Australian investors access to the palladium price.

    Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust Unit (ARCA:SPPP,TSX:SPPP)
    The Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust ETF was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical palladium and platinum bullion. It currently holds over 155,000 ounces of palladium and over 235,000 ounces of platinum. The portfolio is held in custody at a federal crown corporation of the Canadian government.

    Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares (ARCA:PALL)
    The Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares is designed to track the performance of the palladium price, less expenses. It holds over 500,000 ounces of palladium in London at a secured vault belonging to JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).

    Global X Physical Palladium Structured (ASX:ETPMPD)
    Global X Physical Palladium is an ASX-listed platinum ETP that provides Australian investors access to palladium held in JP Morgan storage facilities.

    Palladium bars and coins

    Another option for investing in palladium is by holding physical assets directly, such as bullion. In fact, financial investors may buy palladium bullion bars, palladium bullion coins or collectible palladium coins for portfolio growth. This approach may suit multiple kinds of investors, from those looking to invest small amounts of money in the metal to those with larger quantities of cash.

    Kitco’s online physical palladium market is an example of where investors can buy and sell palladium bars and palladium coins, and this option includes home delivery. Another option is BullionVault’s online palladium marketplace, which allows investors to trade palladium that is stored in vaults, although they do not get to physically hold their metals themselves.

    For more information on how to invest in precious metals coins and bullion, check out our guide on buying physical gold, as much of the advice also applies to physical palladium investing.

    Palladium futures

    Palladium futures, a derivative instrument tied directly to the price of the actual metal, are another key option.

    Palladium futures are available for trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), which is part of the CME Group. For more information on precious metals futures investing, see our guides to gold futures and silver futures.

    For investors unfamiliar with futures investing, futures are a financial contract between an investor and a seller, in which the investor agrees to purchase an asset from the seller at an agreed-upon price based on a date set in the future.

    Rather than owning physical metals themselves, investors speculating in the futures market are instead making bets on whether the price of a particular commodity will rise or fall in the near future.

    For example, if you buy a palladium futures contract believing the price of metal is set to rise, and your prediction proves correct, you could gain a return on your investment by selling the now more valuable futures contract before it expires.

    However, they’re not for novice investors, so be sure to do further research if you decide to use this investment method.

    (TheNewswire)

    Vancouver, British Columbia, November 5th, 2025 TheNewswire – Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘ ) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to announce that Walnut Mines LLC, the owner of the Hot Breccia claims optioned as to 75% by the Company, has agreed to extend certain dates to complete cash payments and exploration expenditures.

    Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo said: Prismo remains firmly committed to advancing the Hot Breccia Project, located in the heart of Arizona s historic copper belt. We appreciate the cooperation of Walnut Mines LLC in extending certain milestone obligations, which provides the Company with additional flexibility as we assess a range of strategic alternatives. Each of these paths is designed to position Prismo to commence drilling on what we consider one of the most compelling copper exploration opportunities in Arizona and the broader United States.

    Dr Linus Keating, manager of Walnut Mines LLC, enthusiastically commented: ‘Walnut and Prismo remain firmly dedicated to advancing Hot Breccia towards drill discovery. Accomplishing that goal requires that we continue to work together and support each other. This extension will provide the necessary time, and better focus resources, to succeed at Hot Breccia.’

    More specifically, the extensions are as follows: (i) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $1,750,000 from January 31, 2026 to January 31, 2027; and (ii) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 from January 31, 2027 to January 31, 2028 and (iii) extend the milestone date to complete the final cash payment of $275,000 to Walnut Mines LLC from January 31, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

    Prismo s Hot Breccia project lies at the heart of the Arizona Copper Belt, which hosts several globally significant porphyry copper deposits.  Examples of these significant deposits are Freeport McMoRan’s Miami-Inspiration mining complex, BHP’s San Manuel mine, Rio Tinto and BHP’s Resolution deposit and others (see Figure 1).

    Figure 1. Location of the Hot Breccia Project in the Arizona Copper Belt.

    Historical drilling carried out in the mid to late 1970 s by a Rio Tinto subsidiary intersected high-grade copper mineralization at depths ranging from 640 to 830 meters below surface. Several holes targeted an area with a coincident magnetic high, believed to be caused by magnetite skarn that was cut in the drill holes and that occurs in xenoliths in cross cutting dikes exposed at the surface. Prismo believes those intercepts may represent the periphery of the upper portion of a large mineralized system.

    Support for the Company s mineralization model at the project comes from several sources, including the results of historical drilling, geophysical surveys, distribution of dikes with xenoliths of Cu-bearing skarn, the 2023 ZTEM survey as well as the results of an AI study. The anomalous target area identified in Prismo s modelling measures 1,100 meters by 1,150 meters.

    Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer of Prismo stated: The copper exploration target at Hot Breccia has geophysical, geochemical and geological features characteristic of many porphyry copper deposits. The project area has a regional setting similar to BHP-Rio Tinto’s Resolution copper deposit located 40 kilometers to the northwest of Hot Breccia and which is considered to be one on the greatest copper discoveries in the history of North American mining. He added: The drill program is intended to drill through the entire prospective Paleozoic carbonate stratigraphy into the postulated porphyry body/breccia zone. The exploration team will take advantage of geological information provided by each hole during drilling to refine targeting of subsequent holes.

    Historical drill holes cut high grade skarn mineralization including 23 meters with 0.54% Cu at 640 meters depth (hole OC-1), 18 m with 1.4% Cu and 4.65% Zn at 830 meters depth (hole OCC-7), and 7.6 m with 1.73% Cu and 0.11% Zn at 703 meters and 4.6 meters with 1.4% Cu and 0.88% Zn at 716 meters (OCC-8).  Mineralization occurs within a several hundred-meter-thick altered zone hosted in favorable Paleozoic carbonate rocks that underly a sequence of Cretaceous andesitic volcanic rocks. These carbonates are the same rocks that host the high-grade copper mineralization at Freeport s nearby Christmas mine.  The historic drilling intersected a blind mineralized intrusion associated with the skarn mineralization, providing an immediate drill target that is believed to be the source of the mineralization at Hot Breccia (Figure 2). Several magnetic highs in the region surrounding the proposed intrusion may also indicated buried skarn mineralization and provide additional exploration targets.

    About Hot Breccia

    The Hot Breccia property consists of 1,420 hectares in 227 contiguous mining claims located in the world class Arizona Copper Belt between several very well understood world-class copper mines including Morenci, Ray and Resolution (Figure 1). Hot Breccia shows many features in common with these neighboring systems, most prominently a swarm of porphyry dikes and series of breccia pipes containing numerous fragments of well copper-mineralized rocks mixed with fragments of volcanic and sedimentary derived from considerable depth. Prismo performed a ZTEM survey last year that identified a very large conductive anomaly directly beneath the breccia outcrops.

    Sampling at the project has shown the presence of copper mineralization associated with dacite dikes that transported fragments of strongly mineralized carbonate rocks to the surface from depths believed to be 400-1,000 meters. Drilling deep holes is necessary to tap into the source of these mineralized fragments found at surface.

    Assay results from historic drill holes are unverified as the core has been destroyed, but information has been gathered from memos, photos and drill logs that contain some, but not all, of the assay results and descriptions.  Technical information from adjacent or nearby properties does not mean nor does it imply that Prismo will obtain similar results from its own properties.

    Data on previous drilling and geophysics is historical in nature and has not been verified, is not compliant with NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon; the Company is using the information only as a guide to aid in exploration planning.

This year’s program is timely given the growing interest in and recognition of inflammation as a central driver of cardiac injury and remodeling. We are honored to have Dr. Cooper, one of the world’s foremost authorities in myocarditis, present the ARCHER results at this prestigious meeting dedicated to myopericardial diseases.’

    ‘The previously reported positive topline results from our Phase II ARCHER clinical trial provided compelling clinical proof of concept for CardiolRx, demonstrating notable improvements in cardiac structure after twelve weeks of blinded therapy in patients with acute myocarditis and preserved left ventricular function,’ said David Elsley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cardiol Therapeutics. ‘These findings represent the first evidence of a drug’s efficacy on structural recovery and reverse remodeling in this patient population, underscoring the potential of CardiolRx to address the underlying inflammatory processes driving myocardial injury. The forthcoming presentation will further characterize the therapeutic profile of CardiolRx as a novel, anti-inflammatory strategy with the potential to significantly improve the treatment landscape not only for acute myocarditis, but also for the broader population of patients suffering from chronic heart failure, where inflammation is a fundamental mechanism leading to the development and progression of disease.’

    ARCHER enrolled 109 patients from leading cardiovascular research centers in the United States, France, Brazil, and Israel, and investigated the safety, tolerability, and impact of CardiolRx on myocardial recovery in patients presenting with acute myocarditis. The design and rationale for ARCHER were published on June 27, 2024, in the journal ESC Heart Failure (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38937900/).

    Company Webcast Conference Call Information

    Cardiol will host a webcast conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on December 1, 2025, following the presentation at the ESC M&PD meeting. Members of the Company’s management team will discuss the clinical findings of the ARCHER trial, implications for future development, and next steps in advancing Cardiol’s programs in inflammatory heart disease.

    2025 Program

    • Drilling Is expected to remain ongoing until mid-December
    • Conversion of inferred resources into indicated & further exploration drilling and geotechnical drilling.
    • 49 holes (31,754m) completed 
    • Ongoing metallurgical work, focusing on flowsheet optionality with sulphide oxidation is a key part of our strategy to maximize the potential of the resource. 
    • Commencement of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) 

    VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 5, 2025 /CNW/ – Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL,OTC:FGOVF, OTCQX: FGOVF) pleased to announce the results from four additional drill holes at the Golden Summit project. To date, the company has completed 49 drill holes, totaling approximately 31,754m. A substantial number of assay results are still pending with results expected to be reported as they are finalized.

    Objectives of the 2025 Drill Program
    2025 drill program has several objectives: to enhance and upgrade existing resources, explore areas for expanding current mineralization, and define the mineralized boundaries, primarily in the Dolphin and Cleary Zones. These goals are being achieved through a combination of exploration, geotechnical, and metallurgical test holes. There is still significant exploration potential to the west and east of the known deposit.

    The current infill drill program continues to validate and refine the resource block model, with results showing strong agreement with the current model.  As part of the lead up to the pre-feasibility study (‘PFS’) work is also continuing to define an initial starter pit.

    Metallurgical test work is advancing, and further metallurgical processes are being evaluated to potentially increase overall gold recoveries.

    GS2523
    One of the southernmost holes drilled in the Dolphin Zone demonstrates the continuity and robust nature of the system, clearly indicating the potential to expand further and increase the overall grade at Golden Summit, and it remains open to the south and southwest. Furthermore, it is one of the broadest gold mineralized intervals within the intrusive seen to date.  Of particular significance is the intercept of 1.24 g/t gold over 277.1 meters, which includes a higher-grade zone of 3.63 g/t Au over 45.4 meters, consisting of sheeted quartz veinlets and rare visible gold almost entirely within the intrusive.

    GS2509, GS2511 and GS2514
    GS2509, GS2511 and GS2514 were all drilled in the southern portion of the WOW Zone. All three holes intersected significant zones of over 1.0 g/t Au mineralization, continuing to validate the WOW Zone’s potential to host higher-grade mineralization. Mineralization in the WOW Zone remains open to depth and along strike to the west and southwest.

    Ongoing and Future Work
    The 2025 program continues to make significant progress, with assay results from over 24,000 metres still to be reported. Alongside the extensive drilling program, other work supporting the start of a Pre-Feasibility Study—including cultural resource assessments, paleontology, groundwater analysis, and studies on mammals and habitats—remain in progress.

    Since 2020, the Golden Summit Project has become one of North America’s largest undeveloped gold resources. The significant increase in resource ounces and grade is the result of targeted drilling campaigns from 2020 to 2024 (over 130,000 meters), ongoing improvements to geological models, and a better understanding of mineralization controls. Positive metallurgical test results have also advanced the project. Ongoing drilling has continued to delineate zones of higher-grade mineralization and to convert previously considered waste areas into potentially economically viable mineralized zones. Continued westward expansion has resulted in the discovery of new higher-grade zones, increasing both indicated gold resources and grades.

    Recovery rates exceeding 90% have been achieved using sulphide-oxidizing techniques, including BIOX®, POX, and the Albion Process. As of July 2025, the current Golden Summit resource includes an Indicated Primary Mineral Resource of 17.2 million ounces at 1.24 g/t Au and an Inferred Primary Mineral Resource of 11.9 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au, calculated using a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade and a gold price of $2,490. A significant number of assay results remain pending. Drilling is expected to continue until mid-December and resume in February 2026. Results from the 2025 drilling campaign provide the basis for an updated mineral resource estimate, which will support the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

    Yum Brands said on Tuesday it was exploring strategic options for its Pizza Hut chain as the unit struggles to keep pace in a highly competitive fast-food industry vying for sales from a stressed consumer.

    “Pizza Hut‘s performance indicates the need to take additional action to help the brand realize its full value, which may be better executed outside of Yum Brands,” Yum Brands’ new CEO, Chris Turner, said in a statement.

    Pizza Hut‘s sales have lagged Yum Brands’ other prominent units, Taco Bell and KFC International, falling for seven consecutive quarters. In comparison, Taco Bell last reported negative comparable sales in June 2020.

    Yum Brands’ shares were up about 2% in premarket trading after the company banked on 7% growth in Taco Bell U.S. same-store sales and 3% growth in KFC International to beat third quarter estimates.

    Pizza Hut accounts for about 11% of Yum Brands’ operating profits, compared with about 38% for Taco Bell’s U.S. business.

    Several quarters of price hikes at restaurants, sticky inflation and economic uncertainty have forced consumers to become more wary about dining out as they look to stretch their budgets. Still, pizzas are viewed as a value-option to feed families.

    Industry giant Domino’s Pizza DPZ.O said in October that although fast-food traffic was slowing, consumers were still seeking out its pizzas, helped by promotions and new menu items, as well as its delivery partnerships with third-party aggregators such as Doordash DASH.O and UberEats UBER.N.

    While Pizza Hut has also offered value deals such as various personal pizzas for $5 and $2, “an insufficient value message amid a competitive value landscape resulted in transaction softness,” company veteran and former CEO David Gibbs said in August.

    Taco Bell’s Tex-Mex cuisine and its more affordable prices have held Yum Brands in good stead against the slowdown in dining out.

    Yum Brands’ worldwide same-store sales grew 3% during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 edging past estimates of a 2.68% increase, according to data compiled by LSEG.

    Adjusted profit per share of $1.58 beat estimates of $1.49.

    Packaged food giant PepsiCo acquired Pizza Hut in 1977, but spun off the chain along with KFC and Taco Bell in 1997 to create a restaurants company, which took on the name Yum Brands in 2002.

    A deadline to complete Pizza Hut‘s strategic review has not been set, and there was no assurance that the process would result in a transaction, Yum Brands said on Friday.
