PLATINUM Weekly Special Report based on 1 Lot Calculation:
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
- PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT AT $1,300: Platinum prices have recently rebounded strongly from the $1,300 support level, confirming its importance as a key psychological and technical floor. As long as this level holds, downside risk remains limited, and the recovery momentum is likely to persist. A decisive break below $1,300, however, would shift sentiment and expose platinum to deeper losses.
- 100-DAY MOVING AVERAGE TREND: The 100-day moving average continues to slope upward, with prices comfortably above it. This reinforces the broader bullish bias and suggests that dips are still being treated as buying opportunities.
- UPTREND STRUCTURE: The rising trendline remains intact, and the recent bounce from both trendline support and the $1,300 level underlines buyers’ commitment to the uptrend. As long as platinum holds above these supports, the overall outlook stays constructive with potential for further upside.

EVENTS:
- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US NONFARM PAYROLLS (NFP) AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (AUGUST). U.S. labor market data remains a key indicator for the Federal Reserve in assessing future rate cuts, with the unemployment rate holding above 4%, at 4.2% in July.
- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 AT 15:53 GMT+1: TRADE BALANCE IN CHINA. A stronger-than-expected trade surplus—particularly if driven by resilient industrial demand and imports—could reinforce expectations of steady Chinese platinum demand, supporting prices and potentially extending the recent rebound. Conversely, a weaker outcome could pressure prices lower. China remains the world’s largest platinum consumer, making this data especially significant.
US FEDERAL RESERVE:
- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AT 19:00 GMT+1: US FEDERAL RESERVE INTEREST RATE DECISION. Weaker July labor data, downward June revisions, and Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks have raised market expectations for a September rate cut. With the benchmark rate at 4.5% and projected to fall to 4% by end-2025, the U.S. dollar may face pressure, potentially supporting platinum prices.
GEOPOLITICS: TENSIONS RISE BETWEEN THE USA AND RUSSIA
- U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RENEWED HIS THREAT TO IMPOSE ECONOMIC PENALTIES ON RUSSIA. On August 26, 2025, Trump stepped up U.S. pressure on Russia, warning of “very serious” economic measures if peace talks stall. He stressed that the response would be economic, not military, signaling Washington’s intent to rely on sanctions and tariffs rather than direct confrontation.
- RUSSIA IS THE 2nd LARGEST PLATINUM PRODUCER IN THE WORLD AND THE SECOND LARGEST PLATINUM EXPORTER IN THE WORLD. Russia is the 2nd largest platinum exporter (13%) and producer in the world (up to 10%) after South Africa.
