to add to the question, and why have they fallen so rapidly from a high of $10,010.00 to a low of $1100 and now a rebound to $2,000

The total production of rhodium is small, only 720,000 ounces per year and this small market is perfect for hedge fund manipulation.

as hedge funds unwound there positions in precious metals , so rhodium prices dropped, but now some have stepped back in at the low levels and are playing he game again.

Involvement of hedge funds is a concern for ordinary investors who can only really play rhodium via related mining securities. Positive fundamentals make the equities a safer bet for small investors, but the involvement of hedge funds risks another Stillwater [SWC] styled wipe out. Fortunately, rhodium is a not a primary metal in the chain for any PGM producer.
