Platinum holdings in physically backed exchange-traded funds have hit a record high after fresh inflows into funds listed in London and Johannesburg, and are set to rise further as a strike in major producer South Africa grinds on.

The world's largest platinum-backed ETF, NewPlat ETF reported an inflow of around 4,000 ounces on Monday, taking its holdings to a near seven-week high at 908,811 ounces.

On the same day, London-based ETFS Physical Platinum reported an inflow of 4,505 ounces, taking its holdings to just under 325,000 ounces.
