ETF Securities lists the first US physically-backed Platinum and Palladium exchange-traded funds listed on the NYSE Arca. The ticker symbols are: PALL – Physical Palladium Shares and PPLT – Physical Platinum Shares. Their physical exchange traded funds SIVR – Physical Silver Shares and SGOL – Physical Swiss Gold Shares have been very successful launches some 6 months ago. The launch of the new ETFs has prompted me to split my existing Platinum and Palladium sector overview chart into two separate ones in order to better reflect the differences between the two metals. Keep an eye on both ones as the evolving automotive markets and increasing car sales and production in India and China could spark a buying frenzy due to the use of both Platinum and Palladium as catalysts for cars.
The Palladium Sector Overview Chart is now listing the following stocks:
- PALL – Physical Palladium Shares
- SWC – Stillwater Mining
- PAL – North American Palladium
The Platinum Sector Overview Chart is now listing the following stocks:
- PPLT – Physical Platinum Shares
- SWC – Stillwater Mining
- PLG / PTM.TO – Platinum Group Metals
- ELR.TO – Eastern Platinum Ltd.
- ANO / ARQ.V – Anooraq Resources
- PPN.TO – Platmin Ltd.
