Platinum Prices Climb on Supply Constraints and Macro Support

2025-09-12 13:45 By Dongting Liu 1 min. read

Platinum climbed toward $1,410 per ounce, marking the highest since the beginning of this month as persistent supply deficits continue to support the market.

The World Platinum Investment Council expects the global platinum market to face a structural deficit of around 850 koz in 2025, with supply potentially hitting a five-year low.

Current prices remain high but are insufficient to boost future supply.

On the demand side, industrial demand is under pressure from the global economic slowdown, but investment and jewelry demand—especially for small bars and platinum coins in China—is climbing.

Compared with gold, platinum is relatively more affordable, offering price advantages.

On the macro side, weaker dollar trends and growing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts are providing additional support for platinum prices, while geopolitical tensions are driving safe-haven demand, including US calls for EU tariffs on India and China and Poland’s downing of a Russian drone.

Platinum Hits 7-Month Low
Platinum futures fell to below $1,600 an ounce, hitting the lowest level since November 2025, as a stronger US dollar outweighed progress in US-Iran talks that helped ease inflation concerns. The greenback remained firm as markets continue to anticipate that the Federal Reserve will raise the fund rate this year after a hawkish tone from new Chair Kevin Warsh last week and upward revisions to inflation forecasts. A technology-driven global equity sell-off also boosted demand for the safe-haven currency. Meanwhile, early signs of progress in ongoing negotiations between US and Iran helped soften inflation concerns and ease pressure on central banks to tighten policy. Both sides recently agreed on a 60-day roadmap toward a final deal, and now Washington has issued Tehran a 60-day license to sell oil on international markets, fueling expectations of a faster recovery in global supply. Shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz has also increased, pushing oil prices lower.
