Platinum:
Platinum is expected to see a strong performance in 2026, supported by several key factors.
Deepening deficits: The platinum market is projected to be in a deepening deficit through 2025 and 2026, according to the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC).
Supply constraints: Similar to copper, platinum supply faces challenges, including production issues in major producing countries like South Africa and Zimbabwe, limited recycling, and a lack of significant new mine projects, reports AInvest.
Rising demand: Demand is increasing across several sectors. Automotive demand, driven by stricter emissions regulations and the shift to hybrid vehicles, is a key factor, according to AInvest. Increased investment and growing interest in platinum jewelry, particularly in China, also contribute to the demand surge.
