Platinum benefitted from a strong upward trend that started mid-week right after platinum prices dipped below the $900/oz level for the first in 2021. This week, the industrial metal posts a great 5.15% 5 day gain as it sees its price increase from $932/oz on Monday to $980/oz at the time of writing.

This week, the metal experienced a high of $2,068/oz and a low of $1,832/oz, the lowest price in almost 15 months. On a 3 month basis, the metal is down a massive -25.35%.

Industrial metals, specifically Palladium, Platinum and Rhodium, which act as main ingredients in emission reduction systems for vehicle manufacturers are going to struggle in the coming months as automotive makers are shutting down their plants due to the semi-conductor global shortage. Toyota alone has announced it will cut down 40% of its production, and General Motors is shutting down 6 plants temporarily. As production of vehicles decreases, the demand for platinum group metals is being affected.

The US Fed along with the Bank of England have yet to officially announce early rate hikes and tapering of pandemic era stimulus, although investors believe it is inevitable. This poses a great challenge for any consistent upsides for Gold and Silver as they find support in the Chinese real estate giant Evergrande, but not enough to overweigh the fears of tapering.
