Group 1: Market Dynamics - Platinum prices surged to 312 CNY per gram, driven by industrial demand and supply constraints, particularly due to strikes in South African platinum mines [4][6] - The industrial demand for platinum accounts for 75% of its usage, significantly higher than gold's 10% [3][4] - The price of platinum is influenced by a threefold supply-demand mismatch: a 20% reduction in global production capacity, a 35% increase in demand from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and a weakening of palladium substitution effects [4] Group 2: Investment Characteristics - Gold is perceived as a stable asset with a historical "safe-haven" status, while platinum is viewed as a more volatile investment tied to industrial applications [7] - The average premium for ancient gold ingots at auction reached 47%, compared to only 12% for platinum products [3] - A platinum ETF saw a 42% increase in the first quarter of 2025, outperforming gold ETFs, which only rose by 15% [7] Group 3: Recycling and Recovery - Platinum catalyst recovery processes have advanced, with new methods increasing recovery rates from 88% to 99.7%, enhancing the economic value of recycled platinum [6] - In contrast, gold recovery remains a more traditional process, with significant daily volumes of gold waste being recycled compared to platinum [6][7] - The economic value of recycled platinum from waste materials can be substantial, with estimates suggesting a value increase of 450,000 CNY per ton of waste catalyst [6]
