How volatile is platinum?
47.8% annualised
Measured across 28.8 years of price history, platinum has an annualised volatility of 47.8%. In plain terms: a one-standard-deviation year moves it roughly that far from its average path in either direction.
The detail
Day to day, the average close-to-close move over the last 14 sessions has been $1.08 per gram.
The Bollinger band width — a common short-term volatility gauge — is currently 17.6% of the 20-day average.
Volatility is symmetric. It measures the size of moves, not their direction, and a high reading is not a warning about falls specifically.
