"Palladium has dropped to around $1,700 an ounce."

it was being stolen as it was much more expensive! "Catalytic converters are part of a modern car’s exhaust system, fitted to reduce harmful emissions. They are stolen because of the precious metals inside them: palladium, platinum and rhodium. Hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Jazz Hybrid and Lexus RX are particularly affected"

Side effect of more EVs is unexpected but foreseeable just not by me Regards Mr Slow[bigwhistle]
