Platinum futures held around $1,880 an ounce, staying near a ten-week low, pressured by broader weakness across precious metals amid growing expectations that central banks may need to raise rates to curb inflation risks from Middle East tensions. Renewed fighting in the region and attacks near the crucial Strait of Hormuz have strained a fragile ceasefire and dimmed hopes for a diplomatic resolution in the war. The prolonged conflict has also kept energy prices elevated, fueling inflation concerns and reinforcing expectations of tighter monetary policy. Meanwhile, the platinum market remains structurally tight, with the World Platinum Investment Council projecting a fourth consecutive annual supply deficit in 2026 as output in major suppliers South Africa and Russia remained constrained by aging mines, high operating costs, and sanctions-related challenges. Automotive demand also remains broadly resilient, supported by hybrid vehicle growth and tighter emissions standards.
