Currently, a troy ounce of platinum costs around US$2,100. Platinum was undervalued for a long time but has since appreciated. Until 2015, platinum was even more expensive than gold. The gold-platinum ratio is currently 1:2.32. When considering whether platinum will continue to catch up with gold, it is important to remember that platinum is not a safe haven. The price of platinum depends on economic developments and industrial demand. Recently, platinum has often replaced expensive gold in the jewelry sector. European luxury watch manufacturers such as Rolex, Cartier, and Chopard are also increasingly turning to platinum. The production of platinum jewelry in Europe grew by around six percent in 2025, marking the fifth consecutive year of growth. Worldwide, global demand for platinum jewelry rose by around seven percent last year.

According to estimates by the World Platinum Investment Council, the platinum market will be relatively balanced in 2026, with only a small surplus of 20,000 ounces expected. Mine supply remains limited, according to forecasts. Prices of US$2,600 per troy ounce are often expected for mid-2026. The price of palladium is heavily dependent on the automotive industry (catalytic converters). As long as conventional vehicles are still in use in many countries and strict emissions regulations require palladium-containing catalytic converters, palladium should remain well supported.

The price of gold is approaching the US$5,000 mark again. Gold and silver always have some value, possess emotional value, and gold in particular also has a psychological component. Fundamental data, i.e., the economic and market-specific factors that determine supply and demand, look good for gold and silver. Whether it's the buying frenzy of central banks, their attractiveness as safe havens, or ongoing geopolitical disputes, gold, silver, and related companies should always be a winner in the long run.
