Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - On March 30, platinum and palladium prices opened low and closed high, showing a strong and volatile trend. PT2606 rose 2.66% to 497.50 yuan/gram, and PD2606 rose 0.61% to 357.30 yuan/gram [6]. - With the market's increasing concern about the inflation risk caused by high oil prices, the U.S. stock market fell, and the U.S. Treasury yield dropped from its high, supporting platinum and palladium prices. However, the tense situation between the U.S. and Iran, high geopolitical uncertainties, and high oil prices and the U.S. dollar index may limit the upside space of platinum and palladium [6]. - Eskom, South Africa's national power company, will raise electricity prices starting from April 1, which is expected to increase the energy costs in the mining and smelting of platinum and palladium. The supply elasticity at the mineral end may further tighten, providing medium - to long - term support for platinum and palladium prices [6]. - It is expected that platinum and palladium will likely maintain a range - bound and volatile trend in the short term. After the Middle East geopolitical situation becomes relatively clear, investors can consider going long on platinum unilaterally at low prices or continue to hold the [long platinum, short palladium] strategy [6].
