The platinum price can vary widely in the spot platinum market. The platinum price is shown below in troy ounces. 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams. I recommended buying platinum at $1,118 and am extremely fond of the precious metal. The 200DMA is the 200 day moving average. The Relative number is the current price divided by the 200DMA. This shows whether the metals are cheap, average value, expensive or really expensive. The goal is to buy low and sell high.

These platinum prices are quoted in Federal Reserve Note dollars (FRN$).

Like all platinum prices, the current platinum price reflects the inherent value of platinum and the relative strength of the underlying fiat currency. For example, the FRN$ price of platinum may increase more in percentage terms than platinum priced in Euros. The reason would be that the change in platinum prices is a reflection of FRN$ weakness against the Euro and would not be the result of the change in the intrinsic value of platinum based on the platinum market fundamentals.
