PGMs Flying, miners not so much

Rhodium above US$29,000 (all-time high)

PGMs are considered a 'green' metal in that they help reduce CO2 emissions.

Demand remains above supply.

• But production will increase.
• Scrap is increasing (especially with iron ore at records)
• Rand is strengthening and will likely continue to do so

But the listed miners are languishing nowhere, why?
