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)
Short term weakness continued in gold. However, the interim short covering helped it to end the week on a flat note.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile bullion, bigger short covering happened in silver and helped it to end the week with a gain of 1.5%.
Platinum ($/troy ounce)
Platinum remained range bound because the market participants were waiting for the US economic data.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
After a massive rally, crude oil took a breather and is waiting for further clues from the upcoming Opec+ meeting.
