Platinum is a precious metal, more valuable than gold, that is used by many different industries for a variety of uses. In fact, because it has many of the same properties as gold – malleability, the ability to conduct electrical currents well, and durability (it does not corrode very easily due to oxidation), it also has many similar applications to gold. Among these, platinum is used in electrical contacts, catalytic converters, laboratory, and many more. Platinum usually has a higher price than gold on the international market because it is rarer than gold. In addition, the price of platinum typically rises in bull markets while falling in bear markets. This relationship, which is the inverse to that of gold, happens because demand for platinum is mainly driven by industry, and not investors (which is the opposite of gold). This allows the value of the metal to be much more volatile than that of gold, rising and crashing with the market, for the most part.

The Platinum price today stands as 1607.1 and falls in a 52 week range of 1512 and 1592. Good luck in your trading.
