The biggest buyers were Poland, with 18 tonnes, and China with 10 tonnes, while Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also continuing their recent streak of gold purchases.

How a small idea became the community that connects the precious metals world. That idea became the International Precious Metals Institute.

South African miners, who account for 70% of global platinum output, are wary about adding new production due to uncertainty over long-term demand, leading to declining output as mineral reserves deplete.
“For platinum, we were looking at about 6.2 Moz/year in 2019, and we see that moving down to 4.7 Moz by 2034,” Kleantha Pillay, Sibanye’s executive vice president for sales and marketing, told ...

Investment demand for platinum remains extremely strong, with market fundamentals continuing to support platinum as a compelling investment.

Fritsch noted that gold’s price action since the war started has been counterintuitive to fundamental market beliefs.

After a strong start to the year, Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) have been stuck in a range for the last few months, but according to one research firm, prices across the entire sector are still expected to end the year with solid gains, led by Platinum.

A research team has developed an integrated process combining pure ruthenium-based nano through-silicon via fabrication and extreme all-dry thinning of silicon-on-insulator wafers to support backside power-delivery networks for advanced three-dimensional integrated circuits, according to a new study published in Engineering.

Johnson Matthey notes in its latest 'PGM Market Report' that platinum demand will exceed supply again this year on the back of firm industrial use and constrained mine supply, while ruthenium and iridium are also expected to be in deficit amid rising demand from the data storage and energy transition sectors.
