MetalsCost Palladium Day

MetalsCost marks May 18 for palladium. William Hyde Wollaston isolated palladium around 1802-03, but the historical record (he first offered it for sale anonymously in a Soho shop rather than publishing) doesn't preserve a single clean discovery day, so this date is an evenly-spaced content-calendar placeholder.

MetalsCost Editorial Day — not an official international or industry observance. No single verified discovery or founding date exists for this metal, so MetalsCost assigned an evenly-spaced content-calendar date rather than inventing a claimed "day."

Quick Fact

Palladium traded above gold for most of 2019–2022 — a first in the metal's history — almost entirely because of tightening petrol-vehicle emissions rules, not investment demand.
