PGM Market Reviews

Johnson Matthey publishes a market review of supply and demand for the platinum group metals twice a year.

The main review, published in May, is the definitive record of pgm supply and demand in the preceding year, while the "Interim Review" is published in November and provides detailed forecasts of pgm supply and demand for the full calendar year. Both incorporate short-term market outlooks and six month platinum and palladium price forecasts and are published in English, Japanese, Russian and Chinese.

      Global demand for platinum is forecast to rise by 195,000 oz, or 2.9%, to a record 6.925 million oz in 2007, according to Johnson Matthey in PLATINUM 2007 INTERIM REVIEW, released today. Demand from the autocatalyst sector is expected to grow again, with increasing use of platinum for controlling exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles a major factor. Industrial demand will also rise, while purchases of new metal by jewellery manufacturers will fall slightly. A challenging operating environment will mean that South African platinum supplies will not reach previously expected targets. Global platinum supplies, at 6.66 million oz, will be lower than in 2006 by 135,000 oz and the platinum market in 2007 will in consequence move back from last year’s small surplus to a deficit of 265,000 oz.
