Gold and silver stole the precious metals story over the past year. Platinum and palladium sat it out. That gap sets up the choice between three physically-backed trusts: abrdn Platinum ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:PPLT), abrdn Palladium ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:PALL), and GraniteShares Platinum Trust (NYSEARCA:PLTM). On the surface these look like three flavors of the same trade.... Platinum and Palladium Have Been Left Behind in the Precious Metals Rally and These 3 ETFs Could Be the Next Catch Up Trade
Silver mining stocks are up 124% over the past year, platinum is up 89%, and palladium has recovered 48% after years of steep losses.
Platinum has experienced significant gains recently, driven by supply constraints and shifting industrial demand.
UNG, PLTM and PALL led ETF gains last week as natural gas, platinum and palladium surged amid winter shocks and rising geopolitical risks.
Platinum started the year with a bang, building on its record run in 2025 that delivered a return of over 125%, second only to silver among precious metals. One of earth's rarest metals, platinum's unique physical properties make it indispensable for cutting emissions, powering fuel cells, and supporting critical industrial technologies. Platinum is also benefiting from the rotation to precious metals and safe-haven investments, as investors look to diversify amid market volatility, geopolitical risk, dollar depreciation, and easing interest rates.
Silver, gold & platinum ETFs (SLVP, SILJ, GOEX) crushed it in 2025, while MEME & VIXY lagged.
With gold and silver each logging their best year-long performances in several decades for 2025, investors are keenly aware of the price action of metals heading into the new year. Investors may seek exposure to these haven assets via exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which offer multiple access points—including physically backed funds that track the spot price of a metal as well as less direct exposure via funds holding shares of mining companies and others linked to the metals space.
