How gold and silver performed for the week ending September 8\, 2020

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)

Investor interest in gold increased due to global growth worries, helping it to gain by 1% this week.

Silver (Rs)

Since silver is more volatile, global growth worries and the resultant fear of currency depreciation helped it to gain more this week.

WTI Crude ($/barrel)

Increase in inventory, first time in the last seven weeks, signalled demand woes and pulled down the prices by 8% during this week.

Wine (Rs)

You can also make money by investing in wine and the Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 Index from Bloomberg. It tracks daily price movement of the most heavily traded commodities in the wine market.
