IBTimes reported the CEO of Impala Platinum (JSE:IMP) said there is a disconnect between developments in global financial markets and the real economy.

As quoted in the market news,

n a speech at the company’s annual general meeting yesterday, Brown stated that he thought platinum’s current spot price of around $1,593 per troy ounce represented an undervaluation of the metal.

Analysts are warning that this could result in supply shortages in the copper sector in the coming months.
