What happened to the platinum price in 2022
Platinum averaged $963 per troy ounce in 2022, down 11.7% from $1,090 the year before. Daily trading data shows platinum moved between a low of $796 and a high of $1,199 during the year, ending 2022 at $1,081. The notable development of 2022: Fed hikes; risk-off environment.
The 2020s reversed platinum's fortunes. After a COVID crash to about $600, a multi-year supply deficit, a lease-rate squeeze, hydrogen-economy optimism, and a wave of Chinese investment demand carried platinum to a new all-time high near $2,920 an ounce in January 2026.
Adjusted for inflation, platinum's 2022 average of $963 equals about $1,060 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.
