I'm still trying to wrap my head around why spot platinum is cheaper than gold. Yes, that is a relatively rare occurrence. Pt is almost always $100-200 per oz. more expensive than gold. Pt is also about 1/12th as common as is gold, so it should be more expensive than gold and by quite a lot. It does have quite a few industrial applications, though, and is sometimes seen as an indicator of how well the auto industry is doing. They use quite a bit of Pt and Pd in their catalytic converters.
