In news from the real estate sector, the Supreme Court today ordered the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to direct banks to release the remaining amount of loans in the stalled-Amrapali project that had been sanctioned.

Loans, declared non-performing assets (NPAs), are also to be released while banks and financial institutions have been directed to restructure loans given to the customers.

The move ensures speedy completion of the stalled projects for which funds will now be available.

Meanwhile, in its order, the apex court also said that the Noida authority cannot charge more than a maximum interest rate of 8% from builders.

The Supreme Court in July last year had ordered the cancellation of Amrapali Group's registration under real estate law RERA and ousted it from its prime properties in the NCR. It had ordered a probe by the ED into allegations of money laundering and to look into the charge of FEMA violation by JP Morgan.

In news from the commodity space, gold was witnessing buying interest today. Gains for the yellow metal were seen tracking positive trend seen in the international spot prices as global equity markets eased after a recent rally.

In the morning trade today, the June gold contracts on MCX were trading higher by 0.13% at Rs 46,650 per 10 grams.

Internationally, gold prices rose today on the back of a weak US dollar and safe haven appeal for the yellow metal as investors await clarity on the state of the economy and further stimulus from the US Federal Reserve's policy meeting.

Gold prices gained more than 1% yesterday.

Going forward, experts are of the view that the yellow metal is likely to remain volatile ahead of the outcome of the Fed policy meeting.

Gold has been witnessing volatility during the past few days due to the rally seen in equities as economies globally recover from lockdown. However, a weak dollar and US-China trade tensions are expected to support gold prices in the near term.

Back home, lockdown restrictions have lifted to a large extent from Monday. This has eased concerns over the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the economy, thus diminishing the appeal of safe-haven gold.

We will keep you updated on how gold performs in the coming days. Stay tuned.

Last month, gold prices hit a new high of Rs 47,980 tracking rally in global rates amid increasing US-China tensions and expectations of further stimulus from central banks. With this, gold rallied to its highest since October 2012, driven by economic damage concerns, US-China tensions, and massive monetary and fiscal stimulus.

How lucrative has gold been as a long-term investment in India?

The chart below shows the annual returns on gold over the last 15 years...

Gold Has Been a Shining Long-Term Investment

As you can see, barring just two years - 2013 and 2015, gold has delivered positive returns in 13 of the last 15 years.

Here's what we wrote about this in one of the editions of The 5 Minute WrapUp...

• In fact, gold has delivered double-digit gains in 10 of the last 15 years.
  
  During the entire 15-year period, gold has shot up 555% (compounded annual return of 12.1%).
  
  During the same period, the Sensex surged 511% (compounded annual return of 12.0%). If you include dividends, the Sensex returns would be higher than gold by a couple of percentage points.
  
  One must note that the Sensex returns are not representative of the broader market returns. Moreover, gold was a no-brainer. You didn't have to study financial statements, business models and forecast future earnings growth to get a double-digit return on your investment.

In one of his videos, Vijay Bhambwani, editor of Fast Profits Daily explains why this year's US presidential elections could be bullish for gold.

As per him, the US presidential cycle may not be as predictable this time as it usually is. But there is good money to be made if you can play this trend correctly.

He shows a simple way to profit from this important event. Tune in to know more...
