Metal price ratios
Gold to palladium ratio today

What a swap would give you
Troy ounces of pure metal. A one ounce bullion coin is rarely one ounce of alloy — check its fineness if you are working from a coin rather than a bar.

What the ratio tells you
Palladium demand is dominated by catalytic converters in petrol engines, so the ratio responds to vehicle production and emissions rules rather than to the monetary pressures that move gold. A holder switching between the two is switching between two different markets, not two grades of the same one.
How this is calculated
The live gold spot price divided by the live palladium spot price, both per troy ounce. Nothing is rounded until it is displayed.
