Edward Sterck: Platinum Drivers Intact, Will Price Break Out Again?

Edward Sterck, director of research at the World Platinum Investment Council, says that although the year’s first quarter brought the sector’s first surplus in six quarters, the platinum market is still expected to be in deficit this year.

“We’re expecting investment to return and recoup some of those Q1 losses,” he said. “That’s what results in the forecast for a deficit of about 300,000 ounces in 2026.”
