The January Platinum Contract has reached 25 Year Highs with its price.

It even touched off the $980 mark in the overnight trade.

 

Platinum markets are thin.  Once someone starts buying the ask - the

prices start moving.  I am told that demand for the physical platinum is

high, I am told that fund managers are buying the momentum.

 

I think there is something else going on.  Something which influences

all of the precious markets and platinum is simply too thin to handle it

without pushing to the new highs.  A possible structural shift in the

global economy or a disruption of some sort...

 

P.S.  There is plenty of talk about a large Chinese government copper

trader being  short an unspecified amount of copper at the London

Metal Exchange...

I am not sure what to think of this story.. Let's just hope that China

doesn't bully the markets when it handles the situation...

 

This is not a trade recommendation and no one should treat it as such.
