How to interpret Platinum positioning
What the contract represents
NYMEX Platinum futures represent 50 troy ounces of deliverable platinum.
Categories traders monitor
Managed Money positioning is useful alongside Producer/Merchant activity in a market tied to autocatalysts, jewellery and constrained mine supply.
Interpretation considerations
Platinum's industrial and precious-metal roles vary through time and should not be reduced to a gold proxy.
Important limitations
A smaller futures market can produce volatile percentiles, and physical and OTC exposures are not captured.
