Platina a paládium

We retain a mildly bullish stance for the PGMs. Our average annual price forecasts for 2008 for both PGMs(platinum $1,970 per oz and palladium $450 per oz) imply the potential for prices to recover later in the year from end July levels. Our projections for 2009 are more bullish for platinum than for palladium. This reflects the much tighter stock position for the former metal than the latter, which still has an overhang of Russian stockpile to depress market sentiment. In addition, we do not believe that the power-related production problems in South Africa have been resolved. Again, this is more a supportive factor for platinum than palladium. We forecast an annual price of $2,250 per oz for platinum and $450 for palladium next year.
