Quirks

Cache-only: the all-PGM workbook is vendored in-package (the guest-download filename rotates each May edition)
Demand is GROSS (net only of closed-loop recycling); open-loop secondary supply is a distinct block and is never netted here
The workbook's final column is a JM forecast year (excluded from the emitted actuals; carried only as a demand-outlook scenario point)
Demand complement to jm_pgm_supply (supply only); the two are disjoint - no supply rows are re-emitted here
Regional demand-by-application tables (Europe/Japan/North America/China/RoW) exist in the workbook but only the WORLD block is emitted

Fills the previously-empty demand-by-application sections of the rhodium/ruthenium/iridium dossiers and adds a world-gross series alongside the US-apparent USGS rows for platinum/palladium. Feeds demand.consumption (latest actual year, koz -> kg) and the demand-outlook historical series. Values converted '000 oz -> kg at 31.1034768 kg per koz.
