Platinum Finds Support Above $1,000/Oz, Inverted H&S Pattern Forming on XPT/XAU

PRECIOUS METALS
  • Platinum managed to stabilize above the $1k mark at the start of July after dropping -11.14% mid-June as the Fed delivered a more hawkish tone – denting demand for PGMs and sending the Greenback higher.
  • Since then, we've seen a moderation in hawkish bets on Fed policy and the BBDXY (-0.69%) since the peak on 16/06/21. Similarly, Platinum has recovered +7.71% since reaching a low of $1,027/Oz and is now trading above the 200dma.

  • XPT Holds Above $1k

  • Mining analysts remain bullish on platinum, PGMs & rare earths in the medium to long-term, given an acute supply deficit and bolstered demand from the green energy revolution.
  • However, some near-term volatility is expected to persist as uncertainty over the global recovery remains elevated.
  • XPT/XAU also managed to find support around the 200dma with early signs of a bullish inverted H&S pattern emerging on the daily chart with the neckline shown by the white trendline.
  • A break above here and lateral support (red line 0.6266) may precipitate a move higher towards 0.6644 resistance.
