# Platinum: Relationships

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/commodities/platinum/links/

Every element and industry that Platinum is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Palladium](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/palladium-and-platinum/): Platinum and palladium are mined together in South Africa and Russia and do the same job in car exhaust catalysts, so carmakers swap between them on price and a shift in either metal's supply or price reaches the other. *(researched)*
- [Rhodium](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/platinum-and-rhodium/): Rhodium is a small by-product of the same South African reefs that are mined for platinum and palladium, so its supply follows platinum-group mining decisions rather than its own price, which is why rhodium prices swing far more than platinum's. *(researched)*
