#Goldbonds 
While investors in most instruments have seen their invested capital decline, holders of sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) have had a field day. With the yellow metal outshining other asset classes, these bonds have delivered stellar returns to their investors. For e.g., those who invested in the first series launched in November 2015 (SGB-2015-Series-I) have seen the instrument return 84% as of April 27. Even the SGB 2019-20-Series-I, which has not yet completed a year since launch, has risen 48%. It is not just other instruments that the SGBs have outperformed, they have bettered returns seen by other gold-related instruments like gold ETFs and e-gold. For comparison, let’s consider the SGB-2016-Series-I which was launched on February 8, 2016, and gold ETFs. While the SGB has returned 89% (including coupon payments), the ETFs (the average of the top three funds by volume) have returned 61% in the same period. At the same time, gold prices in rupee terms have risen 62%. The reason that SGBs have done well compared to other gold-related products is because they pay a fixed interest on the holding (2.5-2.75% per year). Investors can also get a discount of Rs 50 if they invest in them online. Further, capital gains are tax-exempt if held till maturity.

Takeaway-
The RBI has sold SGBs in 38 tranches so far. Investors can buy them online via brokers or on the secondary market.

#Fuelshoots
The central government hiked the excise duty on petrol by a record Rs 10 per liter and on diesel by Rs 13 per liter on May 5. But this increase will not impact consumers as retail prices will not be raised. Oil marketing companies like Indian Oil, BPCL, and HPCL will absorb this hike. According to a PTI report, this increase will help the government garner Rs 1.6 lakh crore. These public sector companies will set this hike against the massive decline in crude oil prices. Even though crude prices have tanked in global markets, oil companies have not passed on the benefit to consumers. The base price of petrol is about 40% of its retail price with government taxes, duties, and transportation costs making up the rest. This year, because of the coronavirus pandemic, the government’s revenues have declined while its spending has increased tremendously. By raising the excise duty, the government will be able to make up for some of its revenue loss.

Takeaway-
This is not the first excise duty increase by the government. It had raised excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 3 per liter in March.
