This is your Daily Platinum Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome to the Daily Platinum Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. Today we're diving into what happened with platinum prices and what it means for your investment portfolio.

Let's start with the numbers. As of today, platinum is trading at around two thousand fifty dollars per ounce, down slightly from yesterday. It's been a bit of a mixed day in the precious metals market, and there's actually a really interesting story behind those price movements.

So here's what's happening. Platinum has had an incredible run, up more than one hundred percent over the past year. But today it's feeling some pressure from a stronger US dollar and higher interest rates. When the dollar strengthens, precious metals become more expensive for international buyers, which tends to cool demand. We're also seeing some profit-taking after platinum hit record highs back in January, reaching nearly twenty-nine hundred dollars per ounce. Traders are locking in gains after that impressive rally.

Now, the really interesting part is what's happening underneath all this macro noise. South Africa produces the majority of the world's platinum, and that country is facing serious operational challenges with power constraints and rising costs. That supply pressure should be supporting prices, and it often does over time. But day to day, the macro forces like the dollar and interest rates tend to dominate.

Looking ahead, here's why platinum might be worth paying attention to. Multiple analysts, including Bank of America Securities, have raised their price forecasts significantly. They're now expecting platinum to reach twenty-four hundred fifty dollars per ounce this year. That's based on expecting persistent supply shortfalls through at least twenty twenty-nine. The market is projected to have an average annual supply gap of around six hundred eighty-nine thousand ounces, which is roughly nine percent of total global platinum demand.

The automotive sector remains a key driver. Even though electric vehicles are getting more attention, hybrid vehicles actually require similar or higher amounts of platinum-group metals in their catalytic converters compared to traditional gas cars. Plus, platinum has industrial uses in everything from chemical catalysis to hydrogen fuel cells, an emerging clean energy technology getting serious government support in Japan, South Korea, and Europe.

So while today's price action shows some weakness, the longer-term fundamentals for platinum remain quite strong. Supply constraints are real and persistent, demand is stable and diverse, and major financial institutions are betting on higher prices ahead.

Thanks so much for tuning in to the Daily Platinum Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I hope this gave you some clarity on today's platinum market. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's update, and we'll see you next time.
