LPPM Platinum & Palladium Price Data

One association, two benchmarks, four prints a day between them. The London Platinum and Palladium Market - the London membership organization founded in 1987 - hosts the public historical tables behind the LBMA Platinum Price and the LBMA Palladium Price, the benchmarks the London market settles platinum-group trades against.

For each metal the record resolves to a daily table: one row per business day, two fix panels per row (AM and PM), and every fix stated three times over - US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, all per troy ounce. Alongside each panel sit offered and wanted participation counts from the fixing auction. Concretely, the scale is two metals x up to two fixes x three currencies per day, every observation typed against eight documented fields. Within Datadory's catalog of 1,744 datasets across 159 viable industries, this record scores 7/10 for quality, with field definitions verified during research.

One real trading day from the August 2026 research pass, flat exactly as its fields arrive:

Date            : 20/08/2026
Metal           : Platinum
AM_USD          : 1796.45
AM_GBP          : 1317.70
AM_EUR          : 1535.61
PM_USD          : 1810.25
PM_GBP          : 1326.55
PM_EUR          : 1548.49

That single row settles three questions buyers usually have to ask twice. First, breadth: the morning and afternoon prints arrive together, so intraday shape - where the day's fix moved between auctions - survives without joining anything. Second, currency: all three quotes ride along on each fix, so a sterling-denominated fund and a dollar-denominated trader read the same row rather than maintaining parallel conversions. Third, discipline: dates render in an unambiguous DD/MM/YYYY form and prices sit per troy ounce throughout, which is exactly the unit the physical PGM market trades in.

Every other row repeats this anatomy - palladium days carry the identical layout, as do every earlier date the archive serves.

Eight documented fields, definitions verified during research - small by design, and complete for what a benchmark record owes you. One date column (Date) stamps the fixing day, one label (Metal) separates platinum from palladium once the two metals' tables are stacked, six price columns carry the fixes themselves - AM and PM, each in USD, GBP and EUR - and a participation pair records the auction's offered and wanted counts shown beside each fix panel.

There is no hidden tail beyond these eight. What the dictionary below shows is the entire schema, which is why integrating it is quick: name the columns once and both metals, both fixes and all three currencies speak the same layout.

Geography - a single London fixing venue whose prints are quoted worldwide. There is no venue-by-venue patchwork to reconcile: one benchmark per metal, published simultaneously in USD, GBP and EUR, so local-currency arguments test against dollar ones inside one table.

Temporal - fixes exist for every London business day, twice. The archive window observed during research served at least the current year cleanly while older years thinned out, and there is a hard horizon worth planning around: the public display of historical Pt and Pd prices ends 1 July 2026, after which the benchmark record lives with ICE Benchmark Administration. If your use case leans on deep history, name the years in the sample brief and we will scope exactly what survives before anything ships.

Granularity - two observations per metal per business day: one AM fix, one PM fix, each carrying all three currency quotes. That cadence sits between a daily close and true intraday ticks - enough structure to see the day's move, small enough that a decade fits in a spreadsheet.

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly.

Name the metals, the fix (AM, PM or both), the currencies and the window when you request the sample - one metal at daily resolution, the full two-metal panel in three currencies, or whatever history remains in scope. The sample ships first either way; the ongoing feed lands on whatever cadence your workflow runs, shaped to the scope you named rather than as an undifferentiated dump.

A twice-daily benchmark record earns its keep in five jobs:

• Investors and quant researchers - the citable base series for PGM allocation, spreads and ratios, benchmarked to London prints rather than to whichever dealer quote was nearest.
• Market researchers and consultants - the exhibit reviewers stop arguing about: producer offtake, autocatcyst demand and recycling studies all priced off the same named fix.
• Data scientists and ML engineers - typed, regularly spaced rows that drop into forecasting pipelines as targets or features with no cleaning pass up front.
• Developers and builders - alerts, dashboards and pricing widgets keyed to the AM and PM prints, wired against one flat schema.
• Competitive intelligence teams - benchmark context for anything priced off PGMs, from catalyst contracts to recycler quotes, evidenced with numbers rather than adjectives.

Deeper guidance sits on the investors & quants, market researchers and data scientists persona pages.

Investors & Quant Researchers get the benchmark itself - twice-daily prints in three currencies, ready for ratio and spread work without a conversion pass. Market Researchers & Consultants get provenance that traces to the market association hosting the fix, which is the citation peer review and client scrutiny both accept. Data Scientists & ML Engineers get eight typed columns and an unambiguous date format, so a zero never masquerades as a parse error mid-pipeline. Developers & Builders get the smallest plausible integration surface: two metals, two fixes, three currencies, one layout. Competitive Intelligence & Product Teams get a neutral yardstick - their PGM-linked pricing measured against London's own reference rather than a competitor's feed. Start from the precious metals & minerals data hub, then read vs LBMA Precious Metals Prices for where the two-metal PGM focus beats the broader four-metal panel.

Provenance note - hosted by the London Platinum and Palladium Market, the trade association that has anchored London's PGM market since 1987 and publishes the record of the LBMA Platinum Price and LBMA Palladium Price. An association publishing its own market's benchmark is first-party provenance; the price content itself carries ICE Benchmark Administration copyright, and accuracy disclaimers ride along with it.

Methodology note - these are auction fixes, not tick captures: participating members state offered and wanted interest, and the printed price clears both sides twice a day. Treat each print as the market's cleared consensus at that moment, not an average of screen activity, and expect offered/wanted counts occasionally to go unpopulated on quiet days.

Completeness note - Datadory scores this record 7/10 against a catalog mean of 7.81 across 1,744 datasets, squarely mid-pack for the 27-record precious metals & minerals slice. The schema is complete and verified; the constraint is temporal, with the public archive narrowing toward its July 2026 horizon.
