- Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The platinum and palladium markets are characterized by high supply concentration and low elasticity, with significant influence from factors such as mine production, recycling, and demand in various sectors. The Chinese market has a high dependence on imports for platinum - palladium resources, and the recycling sector is becoming increasingly important. The development of platinum - palladium futures and options provides new investment opportunities [15][22][86] - The demand for platinum and palladium in the automotive catalyst sector is affected by factors such as the development of new - energy vehicles and emission standards. The potential for growth in the hydrogen energy sector offers new prospects for the consumption of platinum and palladium [37][47][77] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Platinum and Palladium Variety Overview - Platinum and palladium, along with rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium, form the platinum - group metals (PGMs), which are precious metals. Platinum and palladium have higher demand than other PGMs. Platinum has a crustal content of 0.005 ppm, and palladium has 0.0006 ppm [6] - Platinum (Pt) has a high melting point, good ductility, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. It is mainly used in industrial catalysts, jewelry, electronics, etc. Palladium (Pd) can adsorb gases, is corrosion - resistant, and is mainly used in the catalyst field [7][8] - Platinum - group metal deposits can be divided into primary and secondary sand deposits. The main formation causes include magmatic action, hydrothermal processes, and exogenous deposition [10] 3.2 Platinum - Group Metal Industry Chain - The supply chain of platinum - group metals has an "oligopoly" structure. Most raw material supply and smelting are in the hands of a few integrated mining and smelting producers. The separation and purification processes of platinum - group metals vary according to the raw material composition. The current mainstream purity of platinum and palladium in the spot market is not less than 99.95%, and the Guangzhou Futures Exchange requires the delivery purity to be no less than 99.95% [15][19] - The extraction of platinum - group metals involves steps such as exploration, mining development, ore extraction, processing, and refining. Recycling of platinum - group metals is highly valued due to their low crustal content [16][20] 3.3 Global Platinum Supply - Demand Pattern - The main platinum - supplying countries are South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Russia. In 2024, South Africa's platinum output accounted for 71% of the global total. The global platinum output declined in 2024, and it is expected to decline further in 2025 [55][57] - The main platinum - consuming regions are China, Europe, North America, and Japan. In 2024, the global platinum demand decreased by 1.6% to 198 tons, with a supply gap of 1.98 tons. The demand in the automotive industry, jewelry, and other sectors showed different trends [59][65] 3.4 Global Palladium Supply - Demand Pattern - The main palladium - supplying countries are Russia, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. In 2024, Russia and South Africa accounted for 43% and 41% of the global total respectively. The global palladium output increased by 0.7 tons to 25.6 tons in 2024, with a supply surplus of 2.4 tons [69][71][77] - The main palladium - consuming regions are China, the United States, Europe, and Japan. The demand for palladium in the automotive catalyst sector decreased due to factors such as the substitution of new - energy vehicles [73][77] 3.5 Chinese Platinum - Group Resource Pattern - China's platinum - group metal resources are extremely scarce, with most of the reserves in Gansu. In 2024, China produced 4.9 tons of platinum - palladium metals. The import dependence on platinum - palladium resources is high, and the recycling industry is facing challenges such as waste shortages [82][86] - In 2024, China imported 104.1 tons of platinum and 28.1 tons of palladium. The consumption of platinum and palladium in China showed different trends, with the consumption of palladium in the automotive catalyst sector declining significantly [88][92][100] 3.6 Platinum and Palladium Price Review - The historical price trends of platinum and palladium are influenced by factors such as supply - demand relationships, economic conditions, and geopolitical situations. The price difference between platinum and palladium and the ratio of gold to platinum also show certain patterns [116] 3.7 Draft of Platinum and Palladium Futures of Guangzhou Futures Exchange - The contract text, risk control system, and delivery business of platinum and palladium futures on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange are under development. The current global active platinum and palladium futures markets are mainly in COMEX [52] 3.8 Platinum and Palladium Options - The draft of platinum and palladium options includes the option contract solicitation draft and the risk control system [42]
