Johnson Matthey will publish its new market forecast - Platinum 2003 Interim Review on Tuesday 18th November.

As the platinum price reaches 23-year highs, Johnson Matthey is about to release its latest Review of the world platinum group metals markets.

Supply of platinum has lagged behind demand in recent years as platinum jewellery fabrication in China has soared. Meanwhile, demand for sister metal palladium has been falling sharply.

Find out whether 2003 will see any change in these trends.

Platinum 2003 Interim Review forecasts supply and demand for platinum group metals in 2003 and analyses the factors that will influence markets in the year ahead.

The full Review and a recorded audiocast of our press launch will be posted on Platinum Today at 1pm London time on 18th November 2003.

To view or download the Review, or to request a free copy, please visit our Publications section.
