Published: May 29, 2026 10:51
Platinum prices rebounded slightly today. Macro front, central banks in multiple countries shifted toward hawkish policies, and the US April PCE price index annual rate rose significantly. As of 10:15 this morning, GFEX PT2606 closed at 467.55 yuan/gram in the morning session, up 1.16%, while the most-traded contract PT2608 closed at 473.55 yuan/gram, up 1.55%. The inverted price spread between the SGE Platinum 9995 best offer price and GFEX PT2606 remained around 15 yuan/gram. Spot market, warrant-based spot cargo suppliers generally quoted at relatively high levels, with mainstream quotations at a discount of 4 yuan/gram to parity against the PT2608 contract. Absolute prices were on the high side, and some suppliers reported that registered warrants were currently siphoning a large volume of spot cargo, leading to a premium on spot prices in the market. Transaction side, according to SMM, downstream enterprises maintained just-in-time procurement, while trading firms engaging in both spot and futures market actively inquired about platinum and palladium warrants due to current price spread opportunities between futures contracts. Overall, the platinum spot market was relatively active today.
