Tokyo platinum down by limit on demand worries
TOKYO, Sept 5 (Reuters) - The benchmark Tokyo platinum contract plunged by the daily 300 yen limit on Friday amid concerns over demand for autocatalysts due to poor car sales.
Platinum and other precious metals were also under strong downward pressure due to the strength of the dollar against the euro and weaker oil prices.
