1. Introduction to Platinum
Platinum stands as a powerful asset, scarcer than gold and indispensable to industries such as automotive, clean energy, and medical technologies. It is admired not only for its industrial utility but also as a store of wealth.
Platinum’s role in high-value applications and its increasing relevance in green technologies make it an asset with both financial and societal impact. Now, with Tiamonds, investing in this asset is easier and more transparent than ever before.
2. Market Insight and Pricing Trends
Platinum Price Update
Platinum recently extended its rally to a sixth consecutive session, reaching $1,200.95 per ounce, its highest level since May 2021. This 32% year-to-date increase has even outpaced gold’s 26% rise.
What’s Driving the Price Surge?
- Tight Supply Expectations: Concerns about limited output have pushed prices upward.
- Industrial Sentiment Recovery: Stronger demand across automotive and green tech sectors is boosting investor confidence.
- Technical Momentum: Platinum is riding the broader rally in precious metals.
“There’s been growing tightness since December,” said Ed Sterck, Director of Research at the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC).
In addition:
- Lease rates in London and Zurich vaults have surged to record highs – now above 13.5% annually, showing extreme market tightness.
- ETF holdings in platinum have reached a 10-month high.
- Spot prices are trading above futures, another strong bullish indicator.
WPIC projects a near 1 million ounce supply deficit in 2025, underscoring the metal’s growing scarcity.
