Platinum Price on Traditional vs. 24/7 Markets

Traditional Platinum markets trade during specific exchange hours and close overnight and on weekends. The perpetual contract here fills that gap, providing continuous price discovery. The perp price typically stays within a small basis of the spot price, making it useful both for speculation and as a real-time indicator of where the market is headed before traditional exchanges reopen.
