Platinum has been one of the strongest-performing precious metals of 2025, with prices rising nearly 50% year-to-date. But what’s driving the rally?

They explore the impact of supply constraints, the role of Chinese jewellery demand, the effects of tariff anxiety, and how automotive and industrial uses are evolving. Plus, they discuss the outlook for palladium, scrap supply, and the long-term case for platinum in the energy transition.
