What is the spot price of platinum?
The spot price of platinum is the price you would pay for one ounce of platinum on any given day. Measured in troy ounces, the value of platinum is determined in comparison to its metal content. The spot price varies based on the world market exchanges, placing heavy importance on researching current performance indicators, including current events and market conditions, as they influence both buying and selling of platinum worldwide.
How is Platinum Used?
- Manufacturing: Due to fertilizers, fiberglass, light bulbs, airbags, sticky notes, and more, industrial demand for platinum has increased by nearly four times since 1980.
- Healthcare: Platinum is a biologically compatible metal because it's not toxic and stable. It does not react with or negatively affect body tissue. Platinum compounds, such as cisplatin, damage cancer cells and can treat specific cancers, including testicular, ovarian, lung, bladder, and head and neck cancers.
- Environmental: Platinum's properties, such as its ability to harness renewable energy and reduce vehicle emissions, make it critical to reducing air pollution and in constructing energy efficient fiberglass.
- Renewable Power: Fuel cell electric vehicles use platinum's catalytic properties in the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, and as an ideal surface for the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), which is used in a growing number of electric vehicles.
Platinum Supply and Demand
Platinum is thirty times rarer than gold. All the platinum ever produced in human history would only cover your ankles in one Olympic-sized swimming pool. All the gold ever produced would fill three Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Twice as much steel is poured in the United States in one day than the total world's platinum production in one year.
There are four core segments that drive platinum use, with investment and jewelry demand increasing in 2025 over the prior year.
Automotive: 37%
Industrial: 23%
Jewelry: 26%
Investment: 14%
How is the Spot Price of Platinum Calculated?
OneGold uses the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) platinum futures and adds an exchange for physical (EFP) when determining the current spot price. Many precious metals wholesalers and retailers use this process. The price of the platinum futures contract is the price of platinum for delivery at the end of a given month. The EFP adjusts the futures price to the price of platinum for immediate delivery. Each day, OneGold works with several top wholesalers to get in alignment on the EFP. We typically use the futures contract with the highest volume.
Does Platinum Only Trade in U.S. Dollars?
No. With OneGold, you can create an account and select between currencies: USD, CAD, EUR, and GBP. You can transact using any of these currencies. Additionally, your OneGold account, including the price of platinum, will be denominated in the currency that you select.
What Influences the Price of Platinum?
The price of platinum is influenced by a combination of industrial demand, mining supply, and broader economic conditions.
Automotive demand has historically been one of the largest drivers of platinum prices. Platinum is used in catalytic converters, which help reduce vehicle emissions. Changes in global auto production, emissions regulations, and the balance between gasoline and diesel vehicles can significantly affect platinum demand.
Mining supply also plays an important role. Most of the world’s platinum is produced in South Africa, with smaller contributions from Russia and a few other regions. Because production is geographically concentrated, labor disputes, energy shortages, and political developments in these areas can impact global supply and influence prices.
Industrial applications beyond the automotive sector also contribute to platinum demand. The metal is used in petroleum refining, chemical processing, electronics, and emerging technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells.
Finally, investment demand can affect platinum prices. Investors sometimes buy platinum as a precious metal investment, particularly when they view it as undervalued relative to gold or other metals.
Together, these factors interact to determine the global market price of platinum.
What is the Difference Between Avoirdupois Ounces and Troy Ounces?
When people say "ounce" in their day-to-day lives, they are typically referring to the avoirdupois ounce, which is an Ancient Roman unit of measurement of approximately 28.3 grams. A troy ounce, on the other hand, is a unit of measurement used for precious metals dating back to the Middle Ages in Troyes, France. A troy ounce is heavier than an avoirdupois ounce and weighs approximately 31.1 grams. An investor should note that when the gold price, silver price, or platinum price is quoted in "ounces," the "ounce" refers to the troy ounce and not the avoirdupois ounce. In addition, the most popular platinum coins and platinum bars, such as the Platinum American Eagle, Platinum Maple Leaf, Platinum Krugerrand, Platinum Pamp Suisse Bar, and Platinum Credit Suisse Bar, are weighed in troy ounces and will state their weight in "ounce," "oz.," "ozt."
