- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent 25 - basis - point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and the expectation of loose monetary policy will drive the subsequent prices of platinum - group metals to perform strongly. The price of platinum, with more obvious financial attributes, is stronger than that of palladium, with more obvious industrial attributes. It is recommended to buy platinum at low prices and then focus on the opportunity to buy palladium after the rise of platinum prices is established [9][10]. - The NYMEX platinum main - contract price is expected to rise further as it has achieved 7 consecutive weekly positive lines under the drive of loose expectations. The NYMEX palladium main - contract price has stabilized around $1,100 per ounce and will be suppressed when it rebounds to $1,255 per ounce. Attention should be paid to its rebound opportunity when it touches the lower trend line [12][15]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1.
