Platinum Price Surge: Platinum has experienced a significant rally, rising over 30% in June and reaching $1,390 per ounce, driven by supply shortages and strong demand, particularly from China's jewelry sector. The World Platinum Investment Council projects ongoing market deficits through 2029.
Market Risks and Producers: Despite the bullish outlook, Goldman Sachs warns of potential downside risks due to price sensitivity in Chinese buying and shifts towards electric vehicles reducing long-term platinum demand. Major producers like Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum are benefiting from the price increase, with continued investor interest expected if prices remain above $1,300.
