LIVE MARKET ALERT Platinum prices traded lower at $1,940.8 per ounce, marking a decline of 1.61% in the latest intraday session. The precious metal saw modest selling pressure as market participants booked profits following recent gains and reacted to mixed signals across broader commodity markets.

Broader volatility in the U.S. dollar and shifting interest rate expectations continue to shape intraday price movements, keeping traders attentive to technical levels and volume trends.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking and mild softness in industrial metals weighed on platinum prices.
