Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium are metals used to reduce vehicle emissions. In recent months, car prices in the US have shot through the roof post-pandemic. Used cars, for example, increased their prices by 30% year on year. Furthermore, a global shortage of semiconductor chips has led automakers to produce much fewer cars and hence decrease the demand for these precious metals. One example is Ford which recorded a massive US sales decline of 33.1% year on year. Toyota, the world’s largest automaker (in terms of car sales) has announced a shutdown of 14 factories in Japan and a cut down in automobile production of about 40%.

It is uncertain when car production will come back to normal. For now, high car prices and decreasing for Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium are likely to remain.
