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)
With the US stimulus talks dragging, gold continues to move within a close range.
Silver (Rs)
Silver fell a bit more during last week because of reduced jewellery and investment demand.
Platinum ($/troy ounce)
Being an industrial commodity, platinum is also firming up with other base metals now.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
Crude oil remained almost flat last week because the bearishness triggered by high inventory was negated by new Covid vaccine hopes.
