Shrinking Inventories Position Platinum for Price Gains

Platinum prices have recently lost some momentum and remain below the $2,000-per-ounce level despite an earlier rally. However, market fundamentals suggest the metal could still be positioned for stronger gains ahead as tightening supply and declining inventories continue to support its outlook. According to the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), the platinum market is expected to record its fourth straight annual supply deficit in 2026. Demand is projected to exceed supply by about 297,000 ounces, while above-ground stockpiles are forecast to decline to roughly 1.7 million ounces by the end of this year. This volume makes up less than three months of worldwide demand, highlighting a growing supply imbalance. The council’s CEO, Trevor Raymond, stated that platinum continues to offer an attractive…

Gold Rallies As Dollar Weakens, Though Headwinds Persist

Gold prices moved slightly higher at the start of the week as the U.S. dollar weakened, making the precious metal more attractive to overseas buyers.

Spot gold climbed to $4,548.14 an ounce in afternoon trading after earlier touching its lowest level since late March. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures for June delivery ended marginally lower at $4,558 per ounce.

Copper Prices Near Record Levels as Sulfur Shortage Bites

Copper prices have surged above $14,000 per ton, approaching historic highs as a global sulfur shortage disrupts supply chains and intensifies pressure on an already tight market. The rally reflects a combination of geopolitical tensions, production setbacks, and rapidly growing demand from artificial intelligence and defense industries. A major trigger has been the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which disrupted exports of sulfur and sulfuric acid, both critical materials used in copper refining processes such as heap leaching and SX-EW. Gulf countries account for roughly a quarter of global sulfur supply and a significant share of sulfuric acid trade,…

Study Reveals More Efficient Method for Producing Hydrogen from Water

Scientists have introduced a newly engineered catalyst that may significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen production, improving the practicality of renewable energy storage systems. Hydrogen is widely regarded as a clean energy source because it can store renewable electricity and generates no carbon emissions when used. However, large-scale hydrogen production has been difficult to achieve economically since most current electrolyzers depend on rare and costly platinum-group metals. Developing affordable alternatives with comparable performance is essential for expanding clean energy technologies. A team of researchers led by Washington University’s Prof. Gang Wu has now designed a promising new catalyst that could…
