Platinum Pushing Purposefully Up

Happy 4^th of July!!!

 

As people all over America celebrate our Independence Day today, the real fireworks we’ve been seeing/hearing recently is from Platinum pushing purposefully up after falling below the price of gold over ten years ago.

And most jewelry buyers will testify that the price of Platinum has historically been either equal to gold or often more expensive.

Am I right, ladies?

Let’s compare prices.

Today gold is hovering around the $3,350 per ounce range while Platinum has moved up to $1,388 per ounce.

Ironically (or NOT) Platinum was $968 in April 2025, while gold was around $3,290.

Do the math.

In just over two months Gold is up 1.8% while Platinum is up an impressive 43.3%.

Year-to-date Gold is up over 27.6% while Platinum is up 54.9%.

So, if you believe in mathematical formulas and how they apply to the markets, you should take notice of an enormous gap in historical pricing in the precious metals sector.

Especially with the Gold/Platinum ratio.

Historically they trade on par/evenly with each other.

But markets often get skewed and huge gaps in historical pricing takes place.

And in the case of Platinum/Gold it’s like a Grand Canyon gap that eventually recognizes the reversion to the mean.

 

Translation:  Reversion to the mean = getting back to normal.

 

So, if like we expect, the reversion to the mean is underway then one of two things needs to happen:

 

• The price of gold must drastically come down… (unlikely)
• The price of Platinum must drastically go up…(likely)

 

Based on uncertainty around the world, chances are the price of gold is not going to go down very much at this time.

 

Platinum Pushing Up…

 

 

As usual we hear investors say things like, “If platinum has already gone up over 40% in the last few months, shouldn’t it go down from here.?”

The simple answer is NO!

Because although Platinum has pushed up to $1,388 recently it’s still not even one half the price of gold.

 

Translation:  Even if Platinum doubles, it still won’t be equal to the price of Gold.

 

Further Translation:  Platinum has more upside here than Gold…and we believe Gold still has legs to run as well.

 

We wrote about other reasons you should own platinum in a post titled “From Russia With Love” May 12, 2025 (HERE).

And in case you didn’t know it, in addition to medical devices and automobiles, Platinum is a key element in the production of missiles.

Share this with a friend…even if they don’t own any jewelry.  They’ll thank YOU later.
