However, you can track the price of platinum in real-time on our platinum pricing chart for instant, accurate data. We have a live price per ounce always available. This price is influenced by a number of factors, with supply being one of the most important. Platinum supply has a significant impact on the price per ounce in Ireland.

These harder to reach deposits raise the cost of mining and could contribute to higher prices of platinum in the future.
What Determines the Platinum Price?
Each year, much less platinum is extracted from the ground than gold. Since it is significantly rarer, platinum generally fetches a higher price than gold during periods of stability.
As with other precious metals, the price of platinum is influenced by supply and demand. Automotive catalysts, which are used to reduce the harmfulness of pollutants, have the highest demand for platinum.
Following the automotive catalysts, the majority of demand is for catalysts used for petroleum and chemical refining, the computer sector, jewellery, and, of course, investing.
The price of platinum is also determined by mine production. Most platinum comes from mines based in South Africa and Russia, which can lead to problems, such as the massive miner's strike in South Africa in 2014 or the Russia invasion of Ukraine. These two countries also have regular episodes of political unrest, which can impact mining and, ultimately, supply. If supply is affected, so is the price

What is the Platinum futures price?
The platinum futures price is the amount you will pay for an ounce of platinum delivered at a later date.
Unlike an OTC market, a futures exchange does not deal in the buying and selling of physical platinum bullion. Rather, the trades are intended to involve platinum-backed assets like platinum derivatives, which are used to hedge against risk or future price movements in the platinum market.
What's the right price to buy or sell platinum?
There is no such thing as the "right" price for buying or selling platinum. The platinum price reflects underlying influences in the platinum market, such as supply and demand dynamics. This makes platinum, along with other investment-grade precious metals, one of the few proven financial insurances that can protect your wealth during tough times.
Therefore, it is best to focus on the fundamentals in the platinum market such as its rarity, limited production, as well as the expected risks in the global economy when deciding to buy or sell.
