In a year where change is proving to be rapid and consequential, the major upcoming Shanghai Platinum Week is bound to connect key trends across the platinum group metals (PGMs) value chain as it has done progressively since 2021. This year’s Shanghai Platinum Week in Suzhou from July 6 to 10 will take place against the background of previous platinum weeks having given rise to the fruitful creation the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) for platinum and palladium futures in late 2025.
