Daily Osmium-price

Ingo Wolf interviewed by Börsenradio about the Osmium-Fork. 06.06.2023

The current price for osmium (Osmium, in crystalline from) is 1.888,77 Euro / gram resp. 944,39 Euro / gram (HighTech-Ready-Osmium (HTRO)). *

The information on this website refers to the prices of crystalline osmium of commodity class 6 in the commodity class list of osmium

Definition of commodity class 6: Flat crystalline, edge-cut osmium semi-finished products (up to a maximum layer thickness of 2 mm) 9N - 11N

Definition of product class 3: HighTechReady-Osmium of qualities 4N - 7N (99.99% - 99.99999%)
This quality is used for crystallization and in the high-tech industry, provided that defined elements have been removed by high purification and thus cannot make the application impossible or interfere with it.
Current value varies, depending on availability.

Information on product class 6: These flat crystallized semi-finished products are used as tangible assets and are delivered to investors and processors in the form of so-called osmium disks, osmium bars and osmium squares in accordance with US regulations. The current value per gram can be seen on this website as a price chart displaying a daily price (this is not a stock market price, but a daily price influenced by the production quantity and quality control). The pieces are certified in the Osmium Institutes and entered into the Osmium World Database in accordance with the international Customs Agreements. They carry a so-called osmium identification code, which contains the certification data. Certified flat crystalline osmium is considered internationally to be unalterable. Verification of authenticity can be carried out by processors, investors in kind and customs authorities with the help of the scan database.

Information on product class 3: In addition to applications in the jewelry industry, osmium will also be used in a specially purified form in new industries. Second-generation quantum computing, medical technology, high-temperature superconductivity, military technology and many other industries are focusing on research into the use of osmium. High-tech-ready osmium refers to a high degree of purity that osmium must have in powder form in order to be crystallized or to be used in future technologies. It is of particular importance that some elements of the periodic table are eliminated to a certain extent in order to make the respective areas of application possible. The material has a gray sheen and is prepared for use in fine granular form. It is stored in collective storage. For quantities over 500 g, collective storage can be replaced by individual storage. Storage is carried out and insured at the storage facilities of Osmium-World-Council OWC GmbH.

*** As of January 1, 2024, the price determination of the price per gram for semi-finished crystalline osmium products (disks, bars and squares without processing surcharges) will be changed to a new, even more transparent and significantly simplified procedure. In recent years, price changes have been driven primarily by factors such as the harvest rate and the price of raw osmium. However, a number of factors have also had an impact, which have only had a minor influence. With the stable production of investor disks, it is now sufficient to recalculate the production price for crystalline osmium once a year at the Osmium Symposium, in consultation with the international wholesalers. The price per gram is adjusted daily by the Osmium World Council in order to take the influence of inflation into account in the calculation and to incorporate current quantities of goods and market developments.
Der Preis von HighTechReady-Osmium wird vertraglich definiert als jeweils exakt der halbe Preis kristallinen Osmiums, da der Aufwand für Reinigung oder Kristallisation sich in den meisten Fällen die Waage halten.

Significance for the price development:
1) Also during the year, orders with higher volumes and the resulting reduction in stock levels can lead to sudden price changes. The quantitative impact will depend on the quantities ordered and will be used as a regulative for orders in order to be able to continue to supply the manufacturer market.

2) With a planned IPO, it will potentially be possible to operate with a stock price instead of a spot price. Preparations for an IPO are underway, but several tasks still need to be completed. The current plan is to list the "Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH" on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange through an IPO. Osmium as a metal would subsequently have to be listed on several commodity exchanges in order to generate liquid trading.

3) There are three market phases in the Osmium World Council`s extrapolation model, the third of which is the supply of the so-called osmavé to the jewelry industry. With new developments in research, further markets can be seen in phase two, from medicine to military technology and quantum computing. Phase one - the extraction of raw osmium and its acquisition - is largely complete and has ended with the so-called Osmium Big Bang. Phase two is now the division between new industrial applications and jewelry production. In phase three, osmium will already have been used in jewelry or applied in industry. Making predictions is extremely complex due to the scarcity of data on raw osmium. However, indicators such as the collapsing diamond market and the increased access to crystalline osmium in the international tangible asset market are seen as particularly positive indicators.

**** Due to the production fork, a price split of 1:1.5340769952 occurred from €1,816.70/g to €1,184.23/g. Example: Each owner who had registered one gram of crystalline osmium in the World Osmium Database before the split (fork) has the right to receive 0.534 g of crystalline osmium as a compensation. After the division (fork), 1.534 g of osmium are thus in his possession. The delivery of the goods is free of charge.
