LIVE MARKET ALERT Platinum prices moved lower intraday, with the metal trading around 2,584.5 per ounce, down 5.36%.

Market participants are observing technical resistance levels after strong prior gains, while a shift in speculative positions adds to the selling pressure. Despite the downside move, underlying fundamentals remain intact in the longer term, with investors awaiting clearer signals from global industrial and automotive trends.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking activity and weaker industrial cues have pressured short-term trading levels.
• Shifts in speculative positioning and cautious commodity sentiment have amplified intraday volatility.
