Platinum futures traded around $1,950 an ounce, hovering near three-week lows as heightened uncertainty in the Middle East kept inflation risks elevated. Even as negotiations proceeded, US forces conducted strikes in southern Iran in what it described as defensive actions, dimming hopes of a potential peace deal. This sent oil prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and reinforced expectations that central banks could maintain tighter monetary policy for longer. Meanwhile, platinum draws support from its favorable supply-demand outlook. Strong demand from China, particularly following the launch of a new domestic platinum futures contract, has reinforced investor interest in the metal. The market also remains structurally tight, with output in major suppliers South Africa and Russia constrained by aging mines, high operating costs, and sanctions-related challenges. Expectations of solid industrial demand from the automotive sector, further added support.
