Platinum Group Metals

Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) refer to a group of six precious metals: platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. These metals are known for their rarity, high value, and exceptional properties, such as resistance to tarnish and corrosion. PGMs are primarily used in industrial applications, including catalytic converters in vehicles to reduce harmful emissions, as well as in jewelry, electronics, and medical devices. Their unique characteristics make them important in both technology and finance, contributing to their status as valuable commodities in global markets.
