GMO Click Securities Adds 'Platinum Spot' to CFDs Allowing Investment in Global Assets

GMO Click Securities, Inc. (Representative Director and President: Hideyuki Takashima, hereinafter: the Company), part of the GMO Internet Group, announces that it will begin offering the commodity CFD "Platinum Spot" in its CFD trading service starting Monday, April 6, 2026. (*1) GMO Click Securities, Inc. is a consolidated subsidiary of GMO Financial Holdings, Inc. [Background of the Addition] With this addition, we will begin offering the commodity CFD "Platinum Spot." The Company ended the handling of "Platinum Spot" in April 2019, but in light of recent changes in the market environment and requests from our customers, we have decided to add it to our lineup once again. Platinum is a highly rare precious metal widely used not only for jewelry but also for industrial applications such as automotive exhaust catalysts and chemical/petroleum refining. Since late 2025, prices have been on an upward trend due to structural supply shortages and expanding industrial demand. From December onwards, prices soared due to the influx of speculative funds linked to the rise in gold prices. From late January to February 2026, prices fluctuated significantly, with the London spot price, an international benchmark for platinum, dropping sharply after hitting a record high of over $2,900. Currently, highly volatile conditions continue against the backdrop of rising geopolitical risks, including the situation in the Middle East. Driven by this market environment, there is growing interest in investment opportunities that capture price fluctuations. The Company will continue to contribute to expanding investment opportunities for customers by enhancing its product lineup, taking advantage of CFDs that allow investments in a variety of assets worldwide.
