History of XPDUSD

The history of XPDUSD dates back to the introduction of palladium as a trading asset. Palladium was first discovered in 1803 and its commercial usage began in the early 20th century. However, it was only in the late 1980s that palladium futures contracts were introduced, allowing investors and traders to speculate on its price movements. The pairing of palladium with the US dollar as XPDUSD gained popularity due to the significant role of the US dollar as a global reserve currency. Over the years, the price of palladium and the value of the US dollar have been influenced by various factors, including changes in supply and demand, economic indicators, geopolitical tensions, and market sentiment. This pairing offers traders and investors the opportunity to profit from the fluctuations in the price of palladium against the US dollar.
