Digital silver: An emerging investment option
THE investment landscape is evolving. There are many investment options available, including bank deposits, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, debentures, government securities, chits, commodities, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. Ideally, one needs to have a combination of at least a few of these to maximize the return, considering their risk tolerance and financial objectives. Investment in gold and silver is considered safe and secure, in addition to being highly liquid. Investing in gold and silver can hedge against inflation and, hence, can be a prudent investment during turbulent times. There are risks associated with physical investment in these, like purity, safe custody, damage and other related expenses. Digital gold and digital silver are modern and convenient ways to invest in gold and silver without the need for physical storage. As said earlier, digital silver is an excellent investment option for portfolio diversification. It is worth noting that over the past few years, silver has outperformed gold. While investing in virtual gold is good, investing in virtual silver is emerging, and it is considered an undervalued investment. Like gold, silver is also a rare commodity, and unlike gold, silver is widely used in the industrial sector. Silver is a crucial component of solar panels, electric vehicles, and smart grid technology. Its demand is expected to increase. Currently, silver is trading at $38 per troy ounce in the international market and may cross $42. Price may go up further in the medium to long-term horizon, and a double-digit return is expected. HOW TO BUY DIGI SILVER There are different ways to buy silver in virtual form. When you buy virtual silver, you own real, high-purity (24 carat- 99.99 purity) silver, which is securely stored in insured vaults. Under this method, silver can be bought in small quantities at your convenience. There is no risk associated with the purity or physical storage. You can buy silver in demat form through various platforms and instruments. The following are a couple of popular means of buying digital silver. ONLINE PLATFORMS Various banks, fintech companies, and investment firms offer the facility of purchasing virtual silver. You can easily do an online registration with them and start investing. This is flexible and convenient. The investment size can be very small. Under this, the silver purchased in digital form can be redeemed in physical silver, cash, or ornaments/coins/bars/utensils, or a combination of all of these. In India, MMTC-PAMP (A joint venture of MMTC, a Govt of India undertaking versus PAMP, and a Swedish bullion brand) offers this facility. A large number of other fintech companies are also offering the buying and selling of digital silver. SILVER ETFS Silver ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are another option to invest in digital silver. A demat account is required for this purpose. A large number of ETFs are available. The ETFs can be bought and sold easily through the stock exchanges. Here, the investment can be redeemed only in cash and not in physical form. Silver ETFs track the spot price of silver in the open market and the Net Asset Value (NAV) changes accordingly. The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) mandated 99.99 per cent purity of silver and kept in a safe vault as backing. Investment in digital silver is not about substituting other investments. It should find a place in your investment basket as part of a portfolio diversification. Considering features of silver, such as its rarity, industrial usage, and undervaluation, investing in silver in electronic form can earn a robust return on your investment. The interest rates of fixed-income securities are coming down due to the reduction of key policy rates by central banks. In this context, investing in commodities like digital gold and digital silver may be considered as an alternative.

MMTC share price surges over 50% in May; is it still a stock to buy?
MMTC share price continued witnessing strong buying interest for the third consecutive session on Friday, May 30, rising over 8 per cent in morning trade on the BSE. MMTC share price opened at ₹ 84.21 against its previous close of ₹ 81.36 and surged 8.4 per cent to an intraday high of ₹ 88.20. At this price, the stock has jumped 38 per cent in three sessions and 57 per cent in May after an 8 per cent gain in April and a 6 per cent gain in March. MMTC share price hit a 52-week low of ₹ 42.55 on April 7 this year and a 52-week high of ₹ 131.88 on July 26 last year. MMTC on May 29 reported a 96.8 per cent year-on-year plunge in its consolidated net profit for Q4FY25 to ₹ 2.23 crore, compared to ₹ 69.78 crore in the same quarter last year. Total income dropped 32 per cent YoY to ₹ 44.14 crore in Q4FY25 from ₹ 64.98 crore in Q4FY24. The stock's sharp gains since March have stretched its valuations. Its current trailing twelve-month price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, near 150, is high in the industry. The stock looks overbought, and technical charts indicate the possibility of a profit booking. Anshul Jain, the head of research at Lakshmishree Investments, highlighted that MMTC stock broke out of a cup and handle pattern at ₹ 63 and rallied sharply, testing the 50 per cent retracement level of its 66.25 per cent fall over 37 weeks, placed at ₹ 86. "The rally has been steep and vertical, indicating that profit booking at current levels is highly likely. Traders are advised to book profits and wait for a fresh accumulation or consolidation pattern to develop before considering new long positions for the next leg," said Jain.

Sensex, Nifty 50 snap 2-day losing run; investors earn nearly ₹2 lakh crore— 10 key highlights from Indian stock market
Indian stock market benchmarks—the Sensex and the Nifty 50—closed in positive territory on Thursday, May 29, snapping their two-day losing run on fag-end buying in select blue-chip stocks. The Sensex closed 321 points, or 0.39 per cent, higher at 81,633.02, with Infosys, Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank as top contributors. The Nifty 50 settled at 24,833.60, up 81 points, or 0.33 per cent. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also ended with gains of 0.48 per cent and 0.39 per cent, respectively. Volatility index India VIX plunged 9 per cent to 16.42. The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rose to nearly ₹ 445.5 lakh crore from nearly ₹ 444 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors richer by about ₹ 1.5 lakh crore in a day. The Indian stock market ended higher amid positive global cues after a US federal court blocked President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs announced on April 2. The market witnessed some volatility due to the expiry of May futures and options (F&O) contracts. However, investors bought shares on dips, as the medium- to long-term outlook remains positive, supported by a healthy macroeconomic environment. "Global sentiment improved after a US court struck down Trump's reciprocal tax policy. However, the domestic market remained mostly rangebound during the day due to rising oil prices and higher US 10-year bond yields," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. "Some recovery was seen toward the end of the session, driven by F&O expiry-led covering. Export-focused sectors like IT and pharma performed well, supported by hopes of easing trade tensions. Lack of positive domestic triggers and a drop in industrial output to an eight-month low could lead to short-term market consolidation," Nair said. As many as 37 stocks closed higher in the Nifty 50 index. Shares of IndusInd Bank (up 2.47 per cent), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (2 per cent), and Eternal (up 1.8 per cent) ended as the top gainers. HDFC Life Insurance Company (down 1.07 per cent), BEL (down 0.81 per cent) and Tata Consumer Products (down 0.68 per cent) closed as the top loser stocks in the index. Only Nifty PSU Bank (down 0.24 per cent) and FMCG (down 0.13 per cent) ended with losses among major sectoral indices. Nifty Metal (up 1.21 per cent), Realty (up 1.14 per cent), Pharma (up 0.92 per cent) and IT (up 0.77 per cent) closed with healthy gains. Nifty Bank and Financial Services indices rose 0.23 per cent and 0.10 per cent, respectively. Vodafone Idea (34.32 crore shares), MMTC (20.17 crore shares) and IFCI (15.06 crore shares) were the most active stocks in terms of volume on the NSE. MMTC, Hindustan Motors, Veto Switchgears and Cables, STL Global and Godavari Biorefineries were among the 17 stocks that jumped over 10 per cent on the NSE. Denta Water and Infra Solutions (down 10.48 per cent) and Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores (down 10.41 per cent) were the two stocks that crashed more than 10 per cent on the NSE. As many as 106 stocks, including MMTC, Zen Technologies, Hindustan Motors and KPI Green Energy, hit their upper circuits in intraday trade on the NSE. On the other hand, 81 stocks, including Orchid Pharma, V2 Retail, Indo Tech Transformers, and Borana Weaves, hit lower circuits during the session. As many as 1,510 stocks advanced, while 1,373 declined and 64 remained unchanged on the NSE. Some 92 stocks, including Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation, Welspun Corp, Solar Industries India and Apollo Micro Systems, hit their 52-week highs in intraday trade on the BSE. On the other hand, Orchid Pharma, National Standard (India), Lasa Supergenerics, Bharat Rasayan and CP Capital were among the 29 stocks that hit their 52-week lows.
