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)
Gold continues to be weak due to the dollar strengthening and fell by around 2% over the past week.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile bullion, silver fell by more than 4% during last week.
($/troy ounce)
Since more than 80%of its use comes from industrial activities, platinum also corrected with other industrial metals.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
Fear of winter crunch is pushing up energy prices and crude oil hit a new 52 high this week before it corrected a bit due to swelling of US inventory.
