Platinum, usually among the most precious of metals, isn’t even worth its weight in gold these days. Some analysts suggest it’s a good time to buy.“If continued negative supply dynamics persist, the platinum price forecast for the next three months may see its rightful time on the throne in 2017,” the Lombardi Letter, which tracks precious metals, said Friday.Platinum was trading at $964 an ounce on Friday, compared to $1,263 for gold, according to the Monex precious metals index.Platinum is rarer than gold and is usually valued more highly, with the exception of periodic fluctuations. An oversupply in platinum production in South Africa is considered the main reason for the metal’s position as a value play.via
