Platinum/USD live price



18 September:: PT rose sharply on Monday Tuesday with risk weight rising to 75 and turning down, also causing the Gold PT ratio to get oversold and ending the week against USDollar barely changed at 930. The weekly risk turned up with Monthly still in uptrend. This technical picture is a standard hold confirmed by RSI and MACD. No portfolio Change.

11 September:: Historically PLATINUM has been ‘as good as’ GOLD. Thge Pl,atinum price followed gold one on one and that makes total sense given its precious metal characteristics. In early 2008 where Gold could/should have already exploded similar to PT, Gold’s advance was limited due to central bank intervention, amongst other market sentiments following the financial crisis. Platinum dropped over 50% and ralliued with gold into the second half of 2011. Since then PT has slowly eroded and lost its appetite for investors. Of course many Precious metals analysts will find plenty industrial use and mining related to explain Platinum’s demise, but right now with so many Youtube intelligence NO ONE talks about Platinum. The Gold and Silver bugs take front stage and rightly so perhaps, but our contrarian sense now takes the upperhand when it comes to Platinum, hence the more recent 20% allocation within the Precious metals space. Platinum at under 1/2 the Gold price is technically, historically and fundamentally not justified. So, as the 12 year downtrend broke in Q3 2020 we wait for equilibrium at 1:1 to gold at least be reestablished before impatience sets in. A relatively very low price means much lower risk for the investment to fail. No Change.

Quarterly Au/Pt Ratio is an interim shot and validates only Sept 30. It is currently showing a tiny trend pause at a strong bearish divergence level. Normally we would expect the existing trend to continue if the nearest lower time frame (Monthly) turns down at the end of the month
