                                                      Platinum: A Sleeping Giant?
                                                      As of December 2, 2024, platinum is trading at $954, firmly within
                                                      its established range of $900 to $1100. Despite this range-
                                                      bound movement, the fundamentals paint a promising picture.
                                                      Tightening supply is creating conditions that could lead to upward
                                                      price movements. A sustained close above the $1100 resistance
                                                      level could signify the start of a bullish trend, with the potential to
                                                      reach $1500 over the next two years. Investors looking for entry
                                                      points might consider $880, though such a level seems unlikely at
                                                      present. The medium- to long-term outlook positions platinum as
                                                      a valuable addition to a balanced portfolio.

                                                      mirrors platinum’s pattern, moving within a range of $850 to
                                                      $1200. A breakout beyond these levels will be key to determining
                                                      its trajectory. If prices test the $880 support level, buying
