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.

Despite the ongoing threat to the global economy posed by the war in Iran, the silver market is attracting renewed investor attention as prices push back above $80 an ounce, with growing expectations that $90 is around the corner.

A new report from Metal Focus reveals that global silver market remains structurally tight, with elevated prices, a fifth consecutive annual supply deficit in 2025, and ongoing mine and recycling constraints despite modest production growth. At the same time, PV-driven silver demand is falling sharply due to cost pressure and thrifting.

In a new recycling process, developed by JM, PGMs are recovered from CCMs without incinerating the perfluorosulfonic acid-based ionomers on which the operation of PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells depend. In a complementary process, developed in parallel by Syensqo, the ionomers are extracted, purified and reconditioned for reuse.

Opportunistic buyers are starting to emerge in the gold market after the biggest selloff in years, helping to keep bullion’s record-breaking three-year bull run intact.

Platinum traded near $1,870 on Friday, March 27, after a sharp two-way session pulled the metal off its earlier low but stopped short of a clean recovery. Spot prices swung between about $1,817 and $1,915, leaving traders to weigh bargain buying against a still-firm U.S. dollar, rising Treasury yields and oil back above the $100 area.

Silver pulled back from its $88.80 session high on March 10 to around $80–81 as of this writing. If you're watching that number and feeling uncertain, I understand the impulse. A 9% decline in a week invites doubt.
But the pullback has a specific, identifiable cause: the US dollar strengthened sharply following the Warsh nomination and FOMC hold expectations. When the dollar strengthens, silver's ...

Russia’s MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC is betting on artificial intelligence as part of a $100 million push to find additional uses for palladium as electric vehicles erode the metal’s main source of demand.
