Comparison of Platinum and Gold as an Asset

Prices
Platinum is considered one of the most precious metals like gold. Platinum prices in Pakistan fluctuate more often as compared to gold. At the end of the 20th century platinum price became close to the gold prices. Then at the beginning of the 21st century platinum rates in Pakistan kept on increasing and became twice the gold rate.
The main reason for the increase in platinum prices was its use in the automobile industry and electrical components. With the usage of palladium as catalytic converters in diesel vehicles, demand for platinum decreased. After 2008 platinum prices fell significantly and became lower than the gold prices.
Liquidity
Liquidity means how easily an asset can be bought or sold. It is considered a main factor to invest in any asset. Gold has an upper hand over platinum in this sense, as it is traded in greater volume and can be bought or sold easily. Whereas platinum has less liquidity because of its low demand and less supply.
Volatility
Volatility means how much the price of an asset fluctuates over time. Platinum has a higher volatility rate than gold due to its low demand and lower trading volume. Additionally, the platinum rate is much dependent on industrial demand. Gold on the other hand is more stable than platinum and is the center of interest for the majority of investors.
Factors Affecting Platinum Prices in Pakistan
Industrial Use
Industrial demand for platinum has a major impact on its rate in Pakistan. Platinum is considered as an industrial metal because of its importance in automobile industries. In the automobile industry, Platinum is often used as a catalytic converter in diesel vehicles due to its high resistance against heat. Platinum is also used in the aircraft industry, medical industry, and electrical components.
Due to its high demand in industries, its rate fluctuates. With the increase in demand, it becomes high and with the decrease in demand of Platinum in the automobile industry, its rate can fall.
Supply and Demand
Just like any other commodity platinum rate in Pakistan is also affected by its supply and demand. Platinum is a very rare metal with limited supply and is produced only in South Africa and Russia which results in its increased demand. So its limited supply and higher demand result in the higher prices of platinum in Pakistan.
Geopolitical Events
Platinum is only produced in a few countries across the world. This means that political tensions in those countries can affect its supply causing platinum prices to rise. Geo-political events can also influence industrial demand for platinum which is used in automobile and electrical industries resulting in its prices falling.
