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 remained under pressure and fell by 1% as investors waited for the US Fed’s September 21-22 meeting outcome.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile bullion, silver fell by higher percentage points.
($/troy ounce)
Excess supply concerns pulled down platinum prices to the lowest level since November 2020.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
Crude oil jumped up by more than 6% during last week due to storm threats and fall in US inventories.
