Raw materials special Rhodium, palladium and platinum

Hello my dears,

In recent months, the focus has been on gold and silver as commodities. However, there are also other commodities whose producers have also been able to deliver a better performance in some cases.


THE Best in one year + 300% .


However, I would like to expressly point out that these are cyclical stocks. And the margins are also thinner than for gold.


Therefore perhaps less interesting for long-term investors.


But for short-term investors and traders, I see good yield opportunities here.

But it might also be worthwhile for our dividend investors to take a look at the shares.

🔥 Brief overview: How the three metals relate to each other

  • Rhodium is the rarest, most expensive and most volatile PGM metal.
  • Palladium was long the most expensive industrial metal due to gasoline catalytic converters, but has been falling sharply since 2022.
  • Platinum is the most stable and broadest metal - industrial, chemical, jewelry, investment.



Metal Typical price range Character

Rhodium 5,000-30,000 USD/oz Extremely rare

Extremely volatile


Palladium 800-2,500 USD/oz Automotive industry

Driven


Platinum 800-1,300 USD/oz Stable,

wide use


Rhodium is therefore several times more expensive than palladium and platinum, but also the most volatile.


🚗 Demand profiles in comparison

Palladium

  • Main metal for petrol catalytic converters
  • Strong dependence on the automotive industry
  • Decline due to e-mobility and substitution by platinum

Platinum

  • Diesel catalytic convertersbut increasingly also gasoline catalysts (substitution)
  • Chemical industry, hydrogen electrolysis, jewelry
  • More stable demand base

Rhodium

  • Almost exclusively for NOx reduction in catalytic converters
  • No real substitution possible
  • Smallest market → extremely price-sensitive



🧭 How prices influence each other

  • When palladium becomes expensivemanufacturers substitute → more platinum more platinum in catalytic converters.
  • When rhodium becomes expensivemanufacturers try to → more palladium/platinumbut only possible to a limited extent.
  • When platinum is cheapits attractiveness as a substitute for palladium increases.

This substitution mechanism is a key driver of PGM prices.


🏭 Which producers have which focus

A rough classification of the major PGM groups:

attachment

For rhodium levers. Implats, Amplats and Zimplats are the strongest.


🔍 What does this mean for your analysis?

  • If you are looking for Rhodium price leverage bets → implats / amplats.
  • If you bet on platinum rebound bet → Northam / Sibanye.
  • If you bet on palladium rebound → Sibanye / Stillwater mines.

The choice depends on which metal you think will be strongest over the next few years.


Platinum and palladium are dual metals: They have both industrial demand (especially the automotive industry) and precious metal character (jewelry, investment). This makes them cyclical, but at the same time more stable in value than purely industrial metals.


🏭 The most important listed rhodium producers

Rhodium is produced almost entirely in South Africa and Zimbabwe are mined. Accordingly, a few large mining groups dominate the market.


🌍 Leading global producers (listed on the stock exchange)

  • Anglo American / Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) One of the largest PGM producers worldwide; rhodium is an important part of its product range.
  • Impala Platinum Holdings (Implats) Second largest PGM group in South Africa, mines with a strong focus on rhodium.
  • Sibanye-Stillwater Major PGM producer with mines in South Africa and the USA; rhodium is an important by-product.
  • Zimplats (subsidiary of Implats) Largest PGM producer in Zimbabwe, ores with a high rhodium content.
  • Eastern Platinum (Eastplats) Smaller but listed PGM producer with rhodium exposure.
  • (Focus on platinum)

Northam Platinium Holdings South Africa


📌 Why there are so few pure rhodium producers

  • Rhodium is extremely rare and almost never in economically degradable concentrations on its own.
  • It is therefore always obtained as a by-product of platinum and palladium mines.
  • Pure rhodium mines practically do not exist.

However, Anglo American $AAL is more of a copper play and was once on $BHP's shopping list some time ago, but nothing came of it.

@SAUgut777 Thank you my dear

Thank you for your analysis. However, I can correct your AI analysis a bit.
Quickly: Anglo American had a spin off of its PGM division. It is now called Valterra.
The substitution of platinum and palladium is considered at a certain price divergence, but is not quite so easy to implement and is more of an issue if these price differences occur over a longer period of time. Currently not an issue!
Platinum price driver has several reasons. Increased demand from the jewelry industry in China due to the gold price, alternative to gold (because gold has done too well), tariffs in the USA (huge quantities of PGMs are in the USA, more than there is demand for this year) which has led to a shortage in the EU, ....
Very complex and driven by speculation.
That in a nutshell

@investment_wizard_2286 Thank you and MEGA, that's what our community is all about. I actually only looked at the current commodity prices and came up with these three commodities. Out of ignorance, I then worked with AI. But I thought it was a shame to keep the knowledge I had gained just for myself. Hence the sharing with the community and this post

@Tenbagger2024 not a problem at all. A lot of the information is correct. The devil is in the detail 😀
But it's important that someone sheds light on companies and trends. That way everyone benefits

@investment_wizard_2286 and I am always very happy about important additions in the comments

Great performance. Thank you. 😀 I still have antimony in my portfolio. Running at 64 percent plus so far. I find commodities exciting and more of a short-term investment.

Thanks for the introduction. At the moment I am already somewhat overweight in the commodities sector due to the oil trades. But I have set myself a bookmark.

This is an area that I have not dealt with at all so far, so no assessment or opinion from my side. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your efforts and the introduction. 👍

@Dividendenopi My last raw material post was about niobium, there seems to be something going on in the near future. Maybe you'll stay tuned

@Tenbagger2024 $NB I've been through it in my trading portfolio, and I'm already out of it again and will stay that way. And as I wrote in the original post, it's not that rare. I don't see the mega need now

@Dividendenopi would be nice if Almonthy crashes on Thursday, would like to get in then. What do you think, should you buy more gold mines or wait a little longer? I think gold should rise again with the end of the war
