1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - Today, the platinum and palladium main contracts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange closed significantly higher. Macroscopically, although the US inflation and GDP data have weakened periodically, Fed officials have successively sent out cautious signals, weakening the market's bets on interest rate cuts this year. Tariffs and the geopolitical situation between the US and Iran have heated up again, leading to high market risk aversion. If the tariff and geopolitical situation between the US and Iran continue to fluctuate, the risk premium may continue to support the prices of platinum and palladium on the beta side of the precious metals market. Fundamentally, platinum prices may continue to show strong resilience driven by rising costs at the South African supply - end, cautious capital expenditure by mining companies, and a tight inventory situation. Recently, due to the ongoing Russia - Ukraine conflict, the market's concern about supply tightening from Russia may support palladium prices to a certain extent. However, the recovery of palladium's recycled supply and the structural substitution in the automotive sector may cause it to move relatively in a volatile manner. In terms of price range, London platinum has a resistance level of 2200 US dollars and a support level of 2000 US dollars; London palladium has a resistance level of 1800 US dollars and a support level of 1600 US dollars.
