Platinum prices held up well today, with the most-traded platinum contract on Guangzhou Futures Exchange, PT2606, closing the morning session at 502.55 yuan/gram, up 1.84. In the spot market, mainstream quotations for spot platinum in the morning session were at a discount of 5-9 yuan/gram to PT2606, or quoted at 5-9 yuan/gram against the SGE sell-1 price. Spot quotations were still basically flat in terms of discount versus the previous trading day. As for spot transactions, SMM learned that suppliers held prices firm in sales due to costs, delivery intentions, and the closure of overseas markets. In the morning session, spot quotations at a discount of 5-6 yuan/gram to the Guangzhou Futures Exchange were difficult to conclude. Some trading firms engaging in both spot and futures market inquired for spot-futures price spread opportunities, but reported that market quotations were relatively high and that there was limited availability of spot cargo at large discounts. Downstream buyers still mainly stayed on the sidelines, while some just-in-time procurement was concluded after negotiated lower premiums. Overall transactions in the spot market remained sluggish.
