China to demand 3429 mn oz Palladium by 2022 According to Michael Jones, president and CEO of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), Palladium prices have fallen sharply from last month’s record highs, but the metal’s long-term potential will continue to drive prices higher for years, amid an economic downturn.

FTC Warns LGD Manufacturers, DPA welcomes! The DPA welcomes the FTC’s warning to synthetic diamond manufacturers (LGD) against misleading consumers with their marketing tactics. This warning is an important step toward transparency and consumer protection.
