Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View - This week, the platinum and palladium markets showed a generally strong trend, with their prices gradually diverging. Platinum demonstrated greater resilience, while palladium repeatedly rose and then fell during the session, confirming the market's expectation of "strong platinum and weak palladium." - In the future, platinum may continue to be supported by the Fed's easing expectations, the continuation of the supply - demand structural deficit, and the expansion of medium - and long - term demand expectations in the hydrogen economy. Palladium's demand is expected to weaken due to over - concentration in the automotive catalyst field and the popularization of new energy vehicles, but the bullish sentiment driven by interest rate cut expectations may provide some support [7]. - The recent parabolic rise in platinum and palladium prices may increase the risk of a high - level decline, and short - term technical correction pressure should be guarded against. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Highlights - Platinum's price elasticity has significantly increased due to the shortage of physical inventory and cross - regional arbitrage trading.
