Platinum,
in context.
Platinum combines scarcity with concentrated industrial demand. Auto catalysts, hydrogen investment and South African supply shape the balance.
Four signals to watch
Auto catalysts
Emissions-control demand remains a major link between platinum and vehicle production.
Hydrogen economy
Electrolyzers and fuel cells could create new demand, but deployment pace matters more than announcements.
South African supply
Concentrated mining and power constraints can make production vulnerable to local disruption.
Substitution
Price gaps with palladium influence how quickly manufacturers redesign catalyst systems.
