Platinum is quietly doing something it has not done in years: **it’s leading, not lagging**.

While most investors still frame precious metals through gold and silver, platinum has surged this year amid tightening supply, shifting industrial demand, and changing macro dynamics. What makes the move notable is not just the price action, but *where it’s coming from* and *what it may be signaling* beneath the surface.

This is not about chasing momentum. It’s about understanding **why the regime may be changing**.

On **Wednesday, January 28 from 12–1 PM ET**, I’ll be **hosting a live webinar** on the investment case for platinum, **presented by Will Rhind of GraniteShares** and approved for **CFP® CE credit** by the CFP Board.

👉 **Register here:** [https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN\_ht-TTQ\_qT\_66zLlHDIyT9w](https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN%5Fht-TTQ%5FqT%5F66zLlHDIyT9w?ref=leadlagreport.com)

### Why This Matters Now

Platinum sits at the intersection of **industrial demand, inflation sensitivity, and portfolio diversification**. Unlike gold, its fundamentals are heavily influenced by real-economy dynamics. Unlike silver, its supply side is structurally constrained.

In this session, we’ll explore:

- What’s driving platinum’s surge this year after prolonged underperformance
- The supply and demand dynamics investors often miss
- How platinum behaves differently from gold and silver across macro regimes
- Where platinum may fit within diversified portfolios
- The key risks that could challenge the bullish narrative

The discussion will be **data-driven, educational, and framework-based**. No price targets. No hype. Just a clear lens for thinking about platinum in today’s environment.

The webinar is **hosted by Michael Gayed**, portfolio manager and macro strategist behind The Lead-Lag Report, and **presented by Will Rhind**, founder and CEO of GraniteShares.

If platinum’s move has caught your attention — or if you’re wondering whether this shift has broader implications for portfolios — this is a conversation worth joining.
