 https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Daily Platinum Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.Hello and welcome back to the Daily Platinum Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark, and today is Thursday, October thirtieth, twenty twenty-five. As always, I am here to keep you up to speed on everything you need to know about platinum prices and the latest developments in the platinum market—all in just a few minutes. If you are looking for daily updates on the trading price of platinum, expert insights into what is moving the market, and practical tips for anyone following precious metals, you are in exactly the right place.Let’s dive in with today’s headline number. According to Kitco and confirmed by Fortune and Trading Economics, the current trading price for platinum is sitting around one thousand five hundred eighty-five dollars per troy ounce as of this afternoon. It is worth noting that prices have shown some volatility during the day, with highs reaching as much as sixteen hundred five dollars in New York afternoon trading. Over the past month, platinum prices have seen a strong rebound, up more than fifty percent from where they were just a year ago, outperforming both gold and silver.So what is driving this momentum? A big part of the story is ongoing supply constraints. Platinum production, especially out of South Africa, has faced plenty of operational hiccups, leading to a so-called entrenched supply deficit. At the same time, global demand remains strong, especially from two crucial sectors: the automotive industry and the emerging hydrogen economy. The auto sector continues to substitute platinum for the even pricier palladium in gasoline vehicle catalytic converters. This trend has caused an eighteen percent increase in automotive platinum demand this year, and analysts say we could see this continue as manufacturers look for cost-effective ways to meet emissions standards.But it is not just cars driving the story. The hydrogen economy is turning into a powerful long-term force for platinum demand. Platinum is essential in the production of green hydrogen, which is expected to play a central role in the global energy transition. Industry watchers now project that hydrogen-related applications could account for as much as twenty percent of all platinum demand by the end of this decade and even reach thirty-five percent by twenty forty. This is helping to reposition platinum from being just an industrial commodity to a cornerstone investment in the clean energy revolution.Market watchers are also keeping a close eye on developments out of China. Chinese policy changes, such as the upcoming phase-out of the long-standing platinum tax rebate, could open the door for even more volatility in the months ahead. Meanwhile, investors have sought out platinum as a safe haven amid ongoing global uncertainties, including shifting trade balances and cautious signals from the Federal Reserve on interest rates.So what could this mean for you? If you are considering platinum as an investment, remember the fundamentals remain strong for the foreseeable future. Forecasts from multiple analysts, including Trading Economics, see platinum potentially breaking through sixteen hundred dollars again soon and possibly heading even higher if supply deficits persist and demand from both automotive and green hydrogen sectors keeps ramping up. That said, precious metals are always subject to short-term swings, so it is wise to keep an eye on technical resistance levels—right now, that is around sixteen hundred five dollars—and be mindful of global economic developments that could impact industrial demand or investor sentiment.Before we wrap for today, here is one actionable tip: if you are tracking platinum prices closely, try setting price alerts with your preferred brokerage or market news app. That way, you are immediately notified if platinum moves past key support or resistance levels, helping you stay ahead of potential buying or selling opportunities.Thank you so much for joining me today on the Daily Platinum Price Tracker.
