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 gave up earlier gains and ended flat after the US Fed made a road map for the withdrawal of stimulus.
Silver (Rs)
Being a more volatile bullion, silver’s reaction was more and ended the week with a loss of 2%.
($/troy ounce)
Though rate hikes are not good, hope of economic revival helped Industrial commodities like platinum to gain.
WTI Crude ($/barrel)
Tight supply situation is keeping the crude oil prices above the $70 mark.
