LIVE MARKET ALERT Platinum futures traded lower at $2,345 per ounce, marking a 2.45% retracement amid cautious sentiment across the precious metals complex. Market participants noted a moderation in trading volumes, suggesting a period of consolidation following recent rallies in the platinum group metals segment. The pullback reflects short-term profit-taking, with traders balancing supply resilience against an uncertain industrial demand outlook.
Analysts highlighted that while platinum remains supported by structural demand in auto-catalysts and green hydrogen technologies, the immediate intraday momentum has turned defensive. Investors are closely monitoring liquidity conditions and shifts in speculative positioning that could determine whether prices stabilize above key technical thresholds or extend further correctional pressure.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking following sustained gains in platinum futures.
• Mixed signals from industrial and automotive sectors influencing near-term demand expectations.
