South Africa should make itself available to be part of platinum futures exchange plans

The mining and marketing of South Africa’s platinum group metals (PGMs) is very important to the South African economy and the more open the trading of these special metals is, the better. What is very encouraging is that transparent trading of platinum and palladium by the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) is likely to go live soon, first domestically in China, and then later become available for international participation.

In this regard, it is opportune that South Africa makes itself available to be part of the international participation that will likely uplift the global liquidity of PGMs going forward. The demand for PGMs is not being matched by supply and the more exposure that the GFEX and other exchanges are able to give them, the better for South Africa.
