International Platinum Rate Today

Platinum futures fell more than 3% to around $2,410 per ounce on Thursday, January 22. The decline in platinum futures, along with gold and silver futures, came after United States President Donald Trump clarified that he will not use military force to acquire Greenland and also stepped back from proposed tariffs on European nations after announcing a framework for a future deal with NATO.

Despite the Thursday's fall in platinum rates, the precious metal continue to remain in demand because of supply side constraints and robust demand, particularly from the automotive and hydrogen sectors. The platinum metal supply continues to remain constrained because of years of underinvestment in mining.

"We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region," read a post by Donald Trump on Truth Social.
