What happened to the platinum price in 2000

Platinum averaged $544 per troy ounce in 2000, climbing 44.3% from the $377 average of 1999. The defining story of 2000: European diesel adoption accelerates.

The 2000s were platinum's greatest bull market. Surging European diesel adoption, chronic South African supply problems including the 2008 Eskom power crisis, and heavy speculative buying drove platinum to a record near $2,290 an ounce in March 2008 before the financial crisis crashed it to about $750.

Adjusted for inflation, platinum's 2000 average of $544 equals about $1,018 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.
