About Palladium
Palladium is a precious metal in the platinum group, valued for its catalytic properties and industrial applications. XPDUSD represents palladium quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. This quotation expresses the dollar value of the metal rather than a currency exchange rate, linking its price to both physical metal demand and conditions in dollar-denominated markets.
Palladium is distinctive for its use in catalytic converters, which help reduce harmful emissions from petrol vehicles. Its supply is geographically concentrated, and much of its production comes as a by-product of mining other metals. These characteristics connect its market to automotive manufacturing, emissions standards, recycling flows and operational conditions at mines and refineries.
On Xellion's MT5 platform, palladium is traded as a CFD under XPDUSD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning the underlying metal. The contract size is 100 troy oz. Trading hours are nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. CFD exposure involves risk, and leverage can amplify both gains and losses.

XPDUSD questions
How is palladium quoted under XPDUSD?
XPDUSD quotes palladium in US dollars per troy ounce. The quotation refers to the metal's unit price, while the supplied contract size is 100 troy oz. Price quotation and contract size are distinct concepts.
Why does automotive demand matter for palladium?
Palladium is used in catalytic converters to help reduce harmful exhaust emissions, particularly in petrol vehicles. Changes in vehicle production, emissions requirements and catalyst composition can therefore affect demand, alongside recycling activity and substitution with other metals.
When can palladium CFDs be traded?
Palladium CFD trading hours are nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a short daily break. The break interrupts the trading session, so access is not continuous throughout the working week.
Does trading XPDUSD on Xellion involve owning palladium?
No. XPDUSD is traded as a CFD on Xellion's MT5 platform, providing exposure to palladium price movements without ownership or physical delivery of the metal. A position can be long or short, and either direction carries the risk of loss.
