JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Platinum has received a major boost from a strategic agreement signed at Shanghai Platinum Week 2026 at a time of rapid expansion of China’s platinum bar and coin market.
The boost is the result of Beijing’s Caibai signing a strategic agreement with the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC).
The agreement involves the introduction of the first-ever platinum investment bar series to be stocked by Caibai, a time-honoured gold bar and coin retailer, which turns 50 this year.
With immediate effect, a series of seven 30 g platinum investment bars have hit the market
“The growing interest in platinum as an investment product presents an exciting opportunity for us, and we have added the first platinum investment bar series to our range to give our customers more choice and enable them to access this market. We believe that there is significant development potential for platinum investment,” Caibai GM Caigang Ning stated.
