Platinum prices were in the doldrums today. Multiple international investment banks raised their expectations for US Fed interest rate hikes in their latest reports, creating headwinds for precious metals from interest rates and driving market funds toward US dollar and US Treasury assets. In morning trading, the most-traded GFEX platinum futures contract PT2608 closed at 405.75 yuan/g, down 2.45%. The inverted price spread between the SGE platinum 9995 sell-one price and the GFEX PT2608 remained around 7 yuan/g. On the spot side, mainstream quotations for platinum stood at a discount of 2 yuan/g against the PT2608 contract to parity. Mainstream quotation premiums were basically flat from yesterday, with most traders quoting at the higher end. Some upstream players suspended shipments due to low absolute prices, while downstream procurement focused on rigid demand stockpiling. Overall, platinum trading was normal today.
