The scope and attractiveness of alternative investments is increasing. Here’s a weekly tracker of returns from such investments. But don’t compare these with returns from traditional investments since the proportion and purpose of alternative investments is vastly different.
Gold (995) (Rs)
Bullion price correction continued and gold prices fell by 3% during the past week.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile commodity, silver fell by 6% during the past week.
($/troy ounce)
Bullion sell spread to other commodities also and platinum fell by 4%.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
In addition to the general commodity weakness, inventory build up also pressured crude during the last week.
