Platinum Price Update: H1 2019 in Review

Platinum was relatively overlooked for its sister metal palladium in the first half of the year, but the precious metal still managed to gain over 5 percent during H1 2019.

Prices for platinum were mainly weighed down by a lack of demand for diesel-powered vehicles in Europe and China, as the metal is primarily used in catalytic converters for these vehicles.
