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)
The US dollar strengthened further pulling down gold by more than 3% during the past week.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile bullion, the fall in silver was more than 5%.
($/troy ounce)
Reduced vehicle production, due to chip shortage, is weighing down platinum.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
After a deep cut during last week, triggered by strategic oil release by nations, crude oil remained stable this week.
