Buy and sell XPTUSD (Platinum) with FXPro

Platinum, one of the top three most valuable precious metals, is traded 24 hours a day on the global commodity markets. During periods of political stability, the price of platinum tends to be higher than gold, as the annual amount of platinum mined is significantly less than gold and the cost of mining per ounce doubles.

Platinum is also considered an industrial metal and is used in the manufacture of automotive catalysts to reduce harmful emissions, so its price is primarily determined by auto-selling and auto-manufacturing. Jewelry manufacturing is platinum’s second-largest market, followed by the petroleum, chemical refining catalysts and computer industries.

Since platinum is mainly mined in South Africa and Russia, this metal is vulnerable to cartel manipulation, may support prices and have an artificial rise. Platinum is one of the most volatile precious metals.
