Chi segue il platino ha visto ina forza straordinaria in queste settimane di questi metallo prezioso.
Aldilà del fatto che i preziosi diversi dall'oro tendono a manifestare nelle fasi più speculative del rialzo fenomeni di irripidimento del rialzo molto significativi allo stato attuale una delle cause del forte rialzo del platino è legato alla crisi energetica in sud africa che costringe il più grande produttore di platino del mondo a limitare la produzione.

Soaring Times for Precious Metals
It looks like the precious metals are poised to set new highs in the coming months. The economic times we are facing, specifically the weakness in the U.S. dollar, has brought substantial interest in being long the precious metals. Platinum climbed to yet another historic high for the sixth trading day in a row on Thursday (1841.6). Investors rushed to buy the precious metal on concerns over the supply issues related to the recent power crisis in South Africa, the world’s top producer of platinum. Platinum is used in jewelry, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry, and automobile emissions control devices.
The causes of South Africa’s power crisis are assorted. Strong economic growth in some places, economic collapse in others, war, poor planning, population booms, high oil prices and drought have all combined to leave both industry and residents short of power at a time many need it most. This has led to an attempt to ration the amount of energy used. Therefore, many of the mines in South Africa have been forced to cut back on platinum production; some eliminating production all together.
This has created an opportune time for the investment funds, bringing them to buy massive amounts of platinum. Every time the market has dipped, it seems as though the sfunds flock to buy it up. Such powerful buying in a very, very thin market has pushed the price to record highs. London-based ETF Securities now holds more than 210,000 ounces of platinum in its exchange-traded fund (ETF), backed by physical platinum.
It looks as though there will be a significant global supply deficit yet again for platinum in 2008 and this is a problem that is not going to go away in a hurry. For example, last year, there was a deficit of 265,000 ounces of platinum. This year, analysts expect the shortfall between demand and supply to jump to 300,000 to 400,000 ounces. Aquarius Platinum, in conjunction with the release of first-half results Thursday, said it will not meet its annual target of 600,000 ounces.
Overall, one would have to say the metals are as strong as ever. A considerable improvement to South Africa’s economy, restored mineral production, and profit taking on the ‘Funds’ part would provide a significant break in this thin market. Otherwise I see continued strength. So get long, hang on; I expect the metals to stay strong.
