Palladium Historical Maximum Drawdown & Bear Market History
Historical Maximum Drawdowns & Major Crashes
Palladium has exhibited two historic boom-and-bust cycles. In January 2001, a speculative Russian supply squeeze sent palladium to $1,090/oz before collapsing -86.4% down to $148 in 2003. After soaring to an all-time peak of $3,440/oz in March 2022 following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, palladium experienced a crushing -75.3% decline down toward $850/oz by late 2024.
Typical Pullback Frequency
Due to extreme geographic concentration of mining output (primarily Russia and South Africa) and tight physical liquidity, palladium is subject to violent speculative squeezes followed by deep -60% to -80% unwinds as automakers substitute with platinum or draw down stockpiles.
Historical Recovery Timelines
The 2001 peak required 17 years to finally breach in January 2018. Following the parabolic March 2022 high, palladium has spent more than 2.5 years in a deep cyclical drawdown as automotive supply chains normalized.
