<html><head></head><body>Platinum prices surged sharply intraday. The most-traded PT2606 contract on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange opened at 560 yuan/gram in the morning session, then held up well, with the peak gain exceeding 6%. It eventually closed the morning session at 565.1 yuan/gram, up 4.74%. In the spot market, spot platinum was quoted at a discount of 9–12 yuan/gram against PT2606, or at a discount of 1–4 yuan/gram against the Shanghai Gold Exchange’s Sell 1. Spot discounts widened compared with the previous trading day. As for spot transactions, according to SMM, the notable intraday rise in platinum prices led downstream enterprises to mostly stay on the sidelines and temporarily suspend purchases. Some traders holding cargo said the bid-ask spread was wide, making deals difficult to conclude, and spot market trading turned weaker than yesterday.</body></html>

Rhodium Prices Plunge 10% in 10 Days as Market Shifts from Shortage to Surplus Expectations

SMM May 28: Rhodium prices have dropped sharply recently, falling from 2,490 yuan/gram to 2,235 yuan/gram over the past 10 days. Market participants indicate that the main reason for rhodium's recent decline is a shift in market expectations from supply shortage to a slight surplus. The previous logic of tight supply driving high prices has changed due to slowing short-term demand and increased supply. Recent reports suggest that first-half production of internal combustion engine vehicles may decline, while some institutions' industry reports forecast that total rhodium demand in 2026 will fall by approximately 6%. As a result, the changes in supply and demand fundamentals, coupled with these market reports, have directly influenced market participants' expectations.
