Platinum, palladium and rhodium have all been moving higher and I expect them to go higher as China is loading more palladium and rhodium in their vehicles. China vehicle sales have rebounded as well. Both palladium and rhodium are in deficit. Platinum is going to be used in 3-way catalysts , which will boost platinum prices. Sibanye-Stillwater expects platinum to reach $2000 per ounce in 2025. Sibanye-Stillwater has exposure to all of these metals. SBSW's production numbers were very good. SBSW's EBITDA was $922 million in Q3 2020. This translates to $3.7 billion EBITDA per year. With a 5 multiple, SBSW should be valued at $18 billion market cap. So there is 50% upside.

As you can see here, the trend has been higher since 2014. => Producer Price Index by Industry: Gold Ore and Silver Ore Mining - Crude Oil Prices: West Texas Intermediate (WTI) - Cushing, Oklahoma The HUI index though (miners), has not been following the correlation since 2014. This is because the gold and silver price has been breaking down lately and sentiment is not positive. Other costs like development costs due to lower grade ore could also have a negative impact. Nevertheless, the chart above is a good indicator for the health of mining companies (comparing the gold/silver price against the oil price).   Energy costs are just 10% of the total AISC costs of a miner. So it doesn't have a significant effect on the overall costs in mining. Miners with a high strip ratio and op...
