Platinum’s value increase just 0.75% this week as it sees its prices increase slightly from $1,062/oz 7 days ago to $1,070/oz today.

Recent US CPI data that showed October’s 6.2% increase in consumer goods YoY has continued to push money towards gold and other precious metals like silver as they are seen as inflation hedges.

The possibility of an early policy tightening by the US Fed has kept bullish investors from pouring more money into gold and the precious metals market. Currently, forward guidance of possible interest rate hikes by July 2022 has moved the markets with that market sentiment. This can be seen by the US treasury yields which have increased from 1.257% 3 months ago to 1.616% today. Increased Treasury yields pull cash out of gold’s non-yielding market and into the yield-paying treasuries. Furthermore, the increased US Yields have pushed the US Dollar into 16-month highs this month as the US Dollar Index (DXY) increases 2.80% in the last 3 months. An appreciating dollar acts as an obstacle for the dollar-denominated gold commodity.

Current fears of stagflation have many investors believe that the current pace of asset purchase tapering will slow to maintain steady economic growth. This could also mean that low interest rates could stay for longer than expected with interest rate hikes only coming later on.
