China Holds Demand as This Metal Faces Its Largest Supply Deficit in a Decade - Ed Sterck

"Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, interviews Edward Sterck, Director of Research at the World Platinum Investment Council, about the largest platinum supply deficit in over a decade. Sterck attributes the deficit to reduced mining output, a drop in recycling from fewer end-of-life vehicles, and changing consumer behaviors. He explains how China's steady demand for platinum, alongside the growing production of hybrid vehicles using more platinum, is driving demand. Sterck also discusses the long-term potential for platinum in hydrogen fuel cell technology, highlighting the metal's future prospects.
