Current spot price of platinum are slightly less than gold. But historically platinum has been significantly more expensive than gold. In fact I recall a time a while back (1980s) when gold was around $400-$500 per ounce and platinum was more than $1000 per ounce. Thus it seems likely the markets will want to restore the historic price relationship between platinum and gold, and it seems gold can only lose against platinum in the long term.
