Currently, the metal is going for about $24 per ounce. Normalizing interest rates or shifting monetary policy would have negative consequences on the economy, which is why the Federal Reserve will not be taking any action on this.

Researchers Have Found New Type of Catalyst That May Protect Endangered Elements

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Nottingham has found that palladium may help produce new and sustainable ways of protecting the supply of precious metals as well as using and making molecules. The researchers discovered that the behavior of palladium didn’t match the standard characteristics that classify catalysts as being heterogeneous or homogeneous. Normally, catalysts are defined as heterogeneous when reactions occur on the surface of a catalyst and homogeneous when the catalytic centers are mixed with reactive molecules. Chemists usually consider various factors when choosing the type of catalyst to use because heterogeneous catalysts are…
