LIVE MARKET ALERT Platinum traded at 2,772.2 per ounce, advancing 1.21% in intraday dealings. The metal maintained upward momentum as investors positioned around signs of firm industrial and auto-catalyst demand. Market participants noted consistent buying interest from traders anticipating potential supply tightness within the physical market.
Analysts highlighted that limited mine output and ongoing investment interest have provided underlying support to spot valuations. However, subdued global growth prospects and shifting interest rate expectations could temper gains if macroeconomic sentiment remains cautious.
Key Drivers:
• Ongoing strength in industrial consumption tied to the automotive and green technology sectors
• Concerns about constrained mining output and refining bottlenecks influencing supply conditions
