Platinum spiked to $1,348 in February 2021 amid Reddit/WallStreetBets-driven excitement about the hydrogen economy and fuel cells. It then corrected as the hype subsided. Auto production disruptions from chip shortages reduced catalyst demand. The hydrogen narrative remained but reality tempered enthusiasm.
