EVENTS:

• TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2 AT 01:00 GMT: FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL SPEAKS. Any dovish remarks from Powell, especially hints of additional interest rate cuts, would likely boost investor confidence and support platinum prices.
• THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4 AT 13:30 GMT: US WEEKLY INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS. A higher-than-expected jobless claims figure would indicate softening labor conditions, raising expectations for additional Fed rate cuts, which tend to support platinum prices.
• SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8 AT 03:00 GMT: CHINA TRADE BALANCE AND EXPORT/IMPORT DATA (NOVEMBER). 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.

US FEDERAL RESERVE:

• NEXT MEETING: DECEMBER 10 AT 19:00 GMT. The US Federal Reserve is expected to finish the year 2025 by cutting the rates to 3.75% on December 10.
• BREAKING (OCTOBER 29): US FEDERAL RESERVE CUT INTEREST RATE TO 4.00% FROM 4.25%. The Fed cut rates again in October after the one earlier in September. In total, this year, rates have fallen from 4.50% to the current 4.00%.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

• DAILY MOVING AVERAGE (MA) CONFIRM UPTREND: Platinum price continues to trade above both the 50-day (red) and 100-day (green) moving averages, reinforcing a solid uptrend structure.
• UPTREND STRUCTURE: Price action remains firmly supported by the rising trendline (blue), which has been intact since early April 2025.
• PRICE ACTION: Platinum price hit an all-time high of $2,300 (March 2018). Currently, platinum price is trading around $1700, and if a full recovery follows the previous all-time high, platinum prices then could see an upside potential of 35%. Although prices could decline, too.
