Rhodium, a rare metal, surpassed gold and silver in value due to high demand in the automotive industry. Its price reached nearly $1,000 per gram in 2021, driven by its use in catalytic converters. Rhodium is primarily extracted as a byproduct of platinum and nickel mining, making its production limited. South Africa and Russia dominate global supply, and any disruptions can lead to price spikes. Besides automotive applications, rhodium is also used in jewelry and chemical industries.
