Ed Sterck, Director of Research at the World Platinum Investment Council, joins Steve Barton to explore the platinum and palladium markets, their supply-demand dynamics, and key investment trends. He shares his path from geology to leading platinum research, offering a clear view of current market forces and opportunities for investors.

The conversation examines platinum’s near-million-ounce annual deficit, the constraints on mine supply, and the influence of recycling, jewelry, industrial use, and ETFs on pricing. Sterck contrasts platinum’s outlook with palladium’s approaching surplus, unpacks geopolitical and tariff effects, and highlights China’s jewelry market, the hydrogen economy, and automotive demand trends.

He concludes with insights on where platinum’s value may head and the factors that could reshape the PGM sector. Viewers are encouraged to like, share, and subscribe for more expert metals market analysis.

WHAT I DO: I spread out my investments. It's not all on one thing. For every bet that I make, I devote one hour of study per month to that investment. I keep the number of bets to what I can feasibly study.
