SINGAPORE, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Platinum jumped more than 4 percent on Tuesday to track firmer gold, with gains in Tokyo futures offering extra incentives for speculators to buy the metal mainly used in autocatalysts.
Platinum was trading at $1,018.50 ounce, up $40.00 from New York's notional close. Platinum was well below a record high of $2,290 struck in March.
Gold was up almost 2 percent to track rising oil prices, while the most active platinum contract on Tokyo futures rose 140 yen per gram as speculators returned to the market after a long weekend holiday.
