Platinum Significantly Outperforms Gold Sector

IBTimes reported on precious metals trading noting platinum has done significantly better than its gold counterpart throughout 2012.

As quoted in the market news:

 One area that has stood out this year has been platinum.  In spite of today’s 1.7% drop in platinum to $1,504.50 per ounce, the metal has advanced 11.1% on a year-to-date basis – making it one of the best performing asset classes.  Platinum has benefited from its dual role as a precious and industrial metal, as central banks have continued to implement highly accommodative monetary policies and as the global economy has shown modest signs of improvement.
