Demand from automotive and jewelry industries remains strong.
(1888PressRelease) November 15, 2011 - MIAMI, FL - Despite an ongoing crisis in Europe and persistent unemployment in the US, there is still a thriving global market for new cars. The emerging economies of India and China are among the largest consumers and Japan is returning to normal production levels in the wake of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March.
Platinum is set to end the year with a surplus, but it will likely be a very small surplus. Physical demand for platinum also remains high, especially from the jewelry industry, and investment demand remains solid. In its 2011 interim review, Johnson Matthey forecasts platinum prices to average $1650 next year, and possibly reach $1800 an ounce. While production of platinum in South Africa has encountered problems and supplies from Russia are fairly stagnant, production from Zimbabwe and Canada is expected to rise. Additionally, recovery of platinum through recycling programs is increasing. However, demand is also predicted to rise and the jewelry industry is expected to find platinum more attractive if it continues to trade at a significantly lower price than gold.
"Platinum historically trades at a premium to gold," says Bill Hionas of Pan American Metals of Miami. "The current situation is anomalous and may not last too long. Platinum bullion is looking like an interesting investment in the medium to long term."
Pan American Metals of Miami trades in precious metals bullion; gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Both leveraged and fully funded positions are available.
