LIVE MARKET ALERT Platinum prices moved lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted at 2,299.2 per ounce, down 3%. The decline reflects a subtle yet noticeable turn in investor sentiment as traders recalibrated positions across the precious metals complex. Despite lingering optimism about medium-term industrial demand, intraday flows suggest a cooling of speculative interest, particularly from futures-driven participants.
Market participants are weighing recent macro signals against constrained supply conditions. Some refiners report steady processing activity, while broader demand indicators, including manufacturing and automotive-related usage, remain under close observation. The slight retreat in prices demonstrates the sensitivity of the platinum market to shifts in both physical demand expectations and broader commodity risk appetite.
Key Drivers:
• Traders adjusted exposure amid reduced speculative momentum in precious metals.
• Supply and industrial demand signals continue to influence short-term price direction.
