Platinum Price Forecast: Hybrid Demand and Supply Deficit Fuel Bullish Breakout
By:
Key Points:
- Platinum remains supported by slower EV adoption, hybrid demand for catalytic converters, and ongoing supply shortages.
- The long-term technical structure suggests that platinum remains in a strong bull phase after its major breakout.
- The bullish outlook would weaken if EV demand rebounds faster, hybrid demand slows, or supply tightness begins to ease.
Platinum (XPL) remains in a good position due to cooling in EV sales, hybrid demand for catalytic converters and supply shortages. I think this is a backdrop for continued bull market activity and a break above $2,240 would lead to further expansion to $2,400 in the near term. This article discusses the macro drivers, platinum demand forecast, market signals, key technical levels and risks which could shape the next significant move in the platinum market.
