Sources and Credits for the Platinum Return Calculator
- Inflation is based on the CPI-U from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We use interpolation and extrapolation to present daily inflation indices; please see our original article, the Daily Inflation Calculator, for the full details on the methodology.
- The palladium price quotes are credit the IMF’s cross-country data statistics, and the API is provided through NASDAQ Data Link.
- The prices are monthly resolution, but the IMF only updates once a quarter. The tool will snap to the best available data for your input.
Platinum as an Investment
Platinum was first labeled as a precious metal in the 1700s, giving it a fair amount of time to be considered as investment quality – although it has nowhere near the storied history of silver and gold. Hopefully this data helps you make sense of the platinum market… or maybe it allows you to grasp a bit of the market before you invest in a certain expensive type of jewelry.
We, however, give no advice to the suitability of platinum in a portfolio – please consult an advisor to discuss if platinum is an appropriate option.
