What happened to the platinum price in 1995
Platinum averaged $425 per troy ounce in 1995, up 4.9% from $405 the year before.
The 1990s were largely range-bound. Heavy Russian platinum-group sales, the 1997-98 Asian crisis, and subdued investment demand kept platinum mostly between $350 and $430, even as diesel-catalyst demand in Europe began to build.
Adjusted for inflation, platinum's 1995 average of $425 equals about $899 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
