Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The Fed's restart of interest - rate cuts has driven the prices of platinum - group metals to continue rising, with the price of London platinum hitting a new record high. The recent price increases of platinum and palladium are mainly driven by spot shortages and arbitrage trading [2]. - In the medium - to - long - term, platinum prices may continue to be supported by the Fed's easing expectations, the continuation of the structural supply - demand deficit pattern, and the expected expansion of long - term demand in the hydrogen economy. However, the demand outlook for palladium is weakening due to over - concentration in the automotive catalyst field and the continuous popularization of new - energy vehicles. The palladium market is shifting from a supply shortage to a surplus, but the bullish sentiment driven by interest - rate cut expectations may provide some support for its price [2]. - Given the significant recent price increases in the precious - metal market, short - term correction risks should be noted. Specific price ranges for different contracts and spot prices are provided [2]. 3.
