How gold, silver, platinum performed during the week ending June 17, 2021

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)
The fear that the US Fed will increase rates sooner than the expected due to rebound in the economy and inflation worries pulled down the gold prices by 2%.

Silver (Rs)
Sell off in the yellow metal spread to silver as well and it also went down by 2% during the past week

Platinum ($/troy ounce)
The sell off was sharper in the industrial commodities and that explains the 5% fall in platinum.

WTI Crude ($/barrel)
Increasing demand along with constrained supply continues to push up crude and it gained by another 3% during the past week.
