今年以来，国际现货铂金价格较飙升近100%，且突破了稳健的价格形态。这一波大幅上涨，反映出市场供应格局与投资者情绪的显著转变。近年 来，受交易所交易基金（ETF）资金流出、高利率环境以及汽车厂商库存积压等因素影响，铂金的表现一直落后于黄金与白银。 但如今市场环境已然改变，铂金正受益于工业需求增长与供应格局趋紧。汽车行业的复苏为其提供了关键支撑，欧洲、中国和印度实施的更为严 苛的排放标准，推动了柴油车和重型汽车的应用，进而带动铂金需求增加。2022-2023年，铂金在该领域的需求量从277万盎司攀升至321万盎司， 且未来几年需求有望进一步激增，为铂金消费注入强劲动力。有数据显示，到2034年工业自动化市场规模预计将达5692.7亿美元，这也将进一步拉 动铂金需求。 库存紧张，供应压力持续加大 与此同时，铂金供应端持续承压。南非的铂金产量占全球总产量的70%以上，但该国长期面临电力短缺、矿山老化以及运营成本攀升等问题，产量 始终受限。环球数据预测，2025年南非铂金产量将下降6.4%。 俄罗斯与津巴布韦的铂金生产也受地缘政治和物流问题困扰。此前多年铂金价格低迷，迫使矿企削减投资规模；而用于弥补供应缺口的库存，如 ...

Core Viewpoint - Platinum is experiencing a significant price increase, with international platinum futures surpassing $1280 per ounce, reflecting a year-to-date increase of over 36% [1]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The demand for platinum is driven by its dual role as both an industrial and precious metal, with applications in catalytic converters and various industrial sectors [2]. - The global platinum supply is heavily reliant on South Africa, which accounts for 70% of production. Due to low prices in recent years, mining companies have struggled to invest in new mines or maintain existing ones, leading to a 10% decline in South African platinum output since its peak in 2019 [3]. - The World Platinum Investment Council estimates a demand shortfall of approximately 30 tons for this year, which could widen due to increased demand from jewelry and investment sectors [4]. Market Trends - The automotive industry is the largest consumer of platinum, accounting for about 38% of total demand, primarily for use in catalytic converters [5]. - Industrial demand constitutes around 30% of total platinum consumption, driven by its catalytic properties and resistance to corrosion [6]. - Jewelry and investment sectors, which together account for 25% to 35% of total demand, are increasingly contributing to the rising prices. The jewelry market in China, which saw a significant decline in platinum demand in recent years, is now showing signs of recovery, with a 35% year-on-year increase in platinum jewelry sales in early 2025 [7][8]. Future Outlook - The current bullish cycle for platinum may last several years, with potential price increases that could surpass historical highs, although periodic price corrections are expected [2]. - Efforts are being made by platinum jewelry companies to innovate and attract new consumer segments, which may further bolster demand [8].
