Platinum demand is dominated by autocatalysts and industrial applications, so the metal tracks vehicle production and emissions regulation more closely than it tracks monetary policy.
Supply is concentrated in South Africa, which makes the price sensitive to mining disruption and to domestic electricity constraints. Spreads are wide relative to gold.
XPT/USD sits in the metals group on our board. A standard contract is 50 troy ounces, which puts the value of a single pip at roughly $0.50. With a typical daily range of 2800 pips, a full-lot position moves through a meaningful amount of account equity in an ordinary session, so size the trade against the range rather than against the margin requirement.

No. The XPT/USD quote shown here is indicative demo data — a fixed, fictional snapshot dated 07/08/2026, 16:45 GMT. It does not update and is not sourced from any exchange or broker. Use your broker's own live feed before pricing or placing any trade.
Our demo board shows 180.0 pips, against a long-run average of 180 pips. Real spreads vary by broker, account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close.
On a standard contract of 50 troy ounces, one pip is worth approximately $0.50. Scale that down proportionally for mini and micro lots — a 0.01 lot position moves at one hundredth of the figure quoted.
Sun 23:00 – Fri 22:00 GMT, daily break 22:00–23:00. Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.
Our indicative figures are -11.4 on a long position and 2.8 on a short, per standard lot per night, with a triple charge applied on Wednesdays to cover the weekend. Positive numbers are credited and negative numbers are debited. Swap rates differ materially between brokers and change with policy rates.
