Platinum comment
04 June 2021 The 15 month old trend in Platinum has already come a long way whilst the 5 month correction is mostly sideways. We are in a long term corective bull market which has some way to go. The next target is the $1400 - 1600 range, next $1900.
There is technical bullish divergence between short/medium and long term risk weight. Our 25% price cushion is sufficiently comfortable to to stay fully invested with about 1/3rd physical Platinum of total precious metals.
28 May 2021 close: With channel support at $1070 our Pt cushion is still 15% (after 0.5% storage cost) whilst the long term picture must first develop peaking action. This looks to be many months away with intermediate channel resistance at $1600.
If Platinum closes above $1200 this quarter, the current quarterly downtick as shown on the quarterly risk chart below, with today's close at 1177 will turn back up.
No update this week on our Gold/Platinum ratio analysis. Platinumn however looks to be ending its correction against gold fairly soon as short and medium term risk weight is ready to change direction from being significantly overbought.
No Change to our physical Platinum allocation.

Gold/Platinum Ratio Charts
Similar picture as Platinum Silver with Gold/Platinum ratio seeking to develop bearish divergence in this time scale. Expect a correction down from the recent 1.40-1.60 move.
The interim Monthly correction at this percentage risk level (25%) as shown above cannot be used as an indicator in its own right. Given the shorter term position this monthly is more likely to return to the trend that started with a double monthly top in 2020. We would like to see bullish ratio price to risk weight divergence to call a potential bottom. Still aiming for par.
Daily risk weight is now showing potential bearish divergence in extreme risk territory. We would expect Platinum to end this short term correction versus gold within a few days.
The below comment was made two weeks ago and still stands
The mild correction that has been developing since February has caused this blip up in risk weight which again could easily last a bit longer although we are looking at an interim monthly chart reading. We expect the Gold/Platinum ratio price to fall into the 1.20 to 1.30 range that was recorded in 2015-2016. We are in the early stages of a major reversal cycle trend and that always develops bullish divergence near the end of the cycle before a major potential turn can be expected. That has yet to materialize.
