Open = first close of the year, Close = last. 4 decades of data. Nominal USD.
Platinum traded at a premium to gold for most of the 1990s and 2000s, peaking near $2,250 in March 2008, before the shift away from diesel catalysts pushed it below gold from 2015 onward.
The table below gives each year’s first and last close, its high and low, and the change on the year, all in nominal US dollars. Gold and silver rows before 2015 are LBMA fixes; later rows and the platinum and palladium series are daily closes from Metals.dev. Where a market holiday leaves a gap, the year simply has fewer trading days.
Use the chart to zoom into any period, or download the full daily series for your own analysis. The investment growth calculator answers the most common question about this data: what a purchase on a given date would be worth today.
