IBTimes reported platinum hit its lowest price point since September 7 after a large overnight selloff.
As quoted in the market news:
A large overnight selloff has taken January platinum down to their lowest price levels since September 7th.

Even though labor tensions have continued in South African gold and platinum mining operations, any threat against supply may have been pushed to a back burner status because of macro economic slowing concerns. With weak global equity markets enhancing fears of slowing, some in the market feel that platinum could be vulnerable to additional pressure until the FOMC statement release on Wednesday.
