Platinum's Price Surge: Platinum prices have surged approximately 75% from below $900 in April to around $1,600, driven by supply constraints, strong industrial demand, and declining inventories, outpacing gold and silver in the precious metals market.
Impact on Mining Stocks: Key platinum mining stocks, including Valterra Platinum, Sibanye Stillwater, and Platinum Group Metals, have seen significant gains, with Sibanye Stillwater rising over 220% since January, as the market experiences its best year since 1979 despite recent price volatility.
