At 9 AM ET on April 30, platinum is priced at $1,968.30 per ounce, marking a sharp 2.92% increase from yesterday's $1,912.50. This rally is fueled by persistent market deficits and the World Platinum Investment Council reporting that global reserves now cover only five months of demand. Additionally, speculative interest is rising as Bank of America recently raised its 2026 average forecast to $2,450/oz, citing its deep discount relative to gold.
