Powerful Tailwinds for Platinum: Access Our Latest Analysis

Platinum emerged as one of the standout performers in the precious metals complex in 2025, returning more than 110% in local terms across the year, and breaking decisively above a decade-long trading range.  

This powerful breakout saw prices push to record highs, above AUD $3,650 per troy ounce (oz), signalling a major shift in market dynamics.  

Momentum carried into 2026 with prices peaking at more than AUD $4,000oz during the January highs. Although prices have since pulled back, the metal remains fundamentally supported by a combination of strengthening demand, constrained supply, and the broader precious metals bull market.  

As a result, platinum is increasingly being viewed as a high-conviction opportunity for investors seeking exposure to precious metals beyond gold and silver. 

Our newly updated Platinum Starter Guide highlights the key drivers behind this evolving outlook, and why investors are paying closer attention to the metal in the current economic landscape.  

It explores the surge in investment appetite—particularly from China—which has driven bar and coin demand up more than 80% since 2019, with further growth expected. 

The guide also examines the structural supply deficit expected to persist through to the end of the decade, alongside platinum’s critical role in industrial applications, including emissions reduction and the hydrogen economy.  

Additionally, it highlights platinum’s historical undervaluation relative to gold, suggesting meaningful upside potential as this gap narrows. 

Investors can also expect an overview of the range of platinum investment options available through ABC Bullion, from minted products to pooled solutions.
