XPTUSDPlatinum Spot — Live Price & Chart

XPTUSD is the spot price of platinum, a rare precious metal used heavily in autocatalysts and jewellery, traded over the counter and used worldwide as a reference for physical and futures markets.

Platinum prices hinge on autocatalyst demand from the car industry, South African mine supply and substitution trends versus palladium. Liquidity is thinner than gold or silver, so moves can be abrupt.

Platinum Spot trades nearly 24 hours on weekdays, following the global futures markets with a short daily break; the most liquid window is the US session around the New York COMEX open. With an average daily move around 1.5%, it attracts safe-haven investors, inflation hedgers, futures funds and active retail traders looking for trends. Volatility clusters around US inflation data, Federal Reserve meetings and geopolitical shocks.
