This year, the increase in platinum prices has exceeded that of gold.

Platinum, along with gold, belongs to the category of precious metals. In the past two years, the platinum market has been relatively sluggish, but recently, platinum prices have risen rapidly, breaking through 300 yuan per gram. From the beginning of the year until now, the cumulative increase in platinum prices has exceeded 36%, higher than the annual increase in gold prices. Purchasers at the Shuibei market in Shenzhen told reporters that this year, with the rise in gold prices, many consumers have turned to buying platinum, and some platinum jewelry is in short supply. The head of a jewelry company said that before, the company sold about 150 to 200 kilograms of platinum a month, but during peak periods, they may sell up to 400 to 500 kilograms.
