ચોકલેટ કોકોમાંથી બનાવવામાં આવે છે.

નવી દિલ્હી. ગયા વર્ષે બિટકોઈનનું વર્ચસ્વ હતું. 2024માં આ ક્રિપ્ટોકરન્સી 1 લાખ ડોલરના જાદુઈ આંકડાને સ્પર્શી ગઈ હતી. ગયા વર્ષે બિટકોઈન લગભગ 140 ટકા વધ્યો હતો. પરંતુ શું તમે જાણો છો કે અન્ય કોમોડિટીએ પણ વળતરની બાબતમાં બિટકોઈનને પાછળ છોડી દીધા છે. બહુ ઓછા લોકોએ આ તરફ ધ્યાન આપ્યું હશે પરંતુ કોકો કોમોડિટી માર્કેટમાં 180 ટકા વળતર સાથે સૌથી વધુ ચમક્યું. કોકો એ કુદરતી ઉત્પાદનનો એક પ્રકાર છે, જેનો ઉપયોગ મુખ્યત્વે ચોકલેટ, કોકો પાવડર અને કોકો બટર બનાવવા માટે થાય છે.

કોકોના ભાવ વધવા પાછળ ઘણા કારણો છે. પ્રથમ, આઇવરી કોસ્ટ અને ઘાના જેવા મુખ્ય ઉત્પાદક દેશોમાં પ્રતિકૂળ હવામાન મર્યાદિત ઉત્પાદન. આ દેશો વિશ્વના કુલ કોકો ઉત્પાદનના લગભગ 70% પ્રદાન કરે છે. વધુમાં, પાકને લગતા રોગોની ચિંતાએ સમસ્યાને વધુ જટિલ બનાવી છે. વધુમાં, વૈશ્વિક સ્ટોકની અછત, કાર્ગો પરિવહન ખર્ચમાં વધારો અને કોકોની ખેતીમાં વર્ષોના ઓછા રોકાણને કારણે પુરવઠાની કટોકટી વધુ ઘેરી બની છે.

આ પણ વાંચો- મંદીના વાવાઝોડામાં પણ વોડકા મેન્યુફેક્ચરિંગ કંપનીના શેર ન ડગ્યા, બ્રોકરેજના દાવા, ભવિષ્યમાં પણ વધશે

1 લાખના રોકાણ પર કેટલો નફો થશે?

જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિએ ગયા વર્ષે બિટકોઈનમાં રૂ. 1 લાખનું રોકાણ કર્યું હોય, તો તેના નાણાં 140 ટકાના વધારા સાથે રૂ. 2.40 લાખ થઈ ગયા હોત. તે જ સમયે, જો કોઈએ કોકોમાં 1 લાખ રૂપિયાનું રોકાણ કર્યું હોય, તો તેની પાસે 2.80 લાખ રૂપિયા એકઠા થયા હોત.

કોકોમાં કેવી રીતે રોકાણ કરવું

કોકોમાં રોકાણ અથવા વેપાર કરવાની ઘણી રીતો છે. આમાંના સૌથી લોકપ્રિય છે....

ફ્યુચર્સ

લંડનમાં NYSE Liffe એક્સચેન્જ અને ન્યૂયોર્કમાં NYMEX પર કોકો ફ્યુચર્સનો વેપાર થાય છે. આ પદ્ધતિ તે લોકો માટે છે જેઓ કોમોડિટી માર્કેટમાં સીધા ભાગ લેવા માગે છે.

એક્સચેન્જ ટ્રેડેડ ફંડ્સ (ETFs)

આ એક સરળ અને અનુકૂળ પદ્ધતિ છે જે રોકાણકારોને કોકો બજારની હિલચાલનો લાભ લેવા દે છે.

CFDs (તફાવત માટે કરાર)

CFD દ્વારા, રોકાણકારો કોકોના ભાવમાં થતી વધઘટનો લાભ લઈ શકે છે.

શરત ફેલાવો

આ પદ્ધતિમાં રોકાણકારો કોકોના ભાવમાં વધારો કે ઘટાડો થવા પર દાવ લગાવે છે.

બિટકોઇનની વૃદ્ધિ પર એક નજર

બિટકોઇનમાં 2024માં ઉલ્કાનો વધારો નોંધાયો હતો, જેની કિંમત ડિસેમ્બરની શરૂઆતમાં $108,353 સુધી 140% થી વધુ વધીને પહોંચી હતી. બિટકોઈન પણ આ વર્ષે $100,000ના ઐતિહાસિક સીમાચિહ્નને પાર કરી, તેની કુલ માર્કેટ મૂડી $2 ટ્રિલિયનથી વધુ થઈ ગઈ. આ વધારા પાછળના મુખ્ય કારણોમાં જાન્યુઆરી 2024માં બિટકોઈન સ્પોટ એક્સચેન્જ ટ્રેડેડ ફંડ્સ (ETFs) નું લોન્ચિંગ અને એપ્રિલમાં ચોથી અર્ધભાગની ઘટના પછી સપ્લાયમાં ઘટાડો હતો. $100,000 થી ઉપરની કિંમત અને આ ઉચ્ચ માર્કેટ કેપિટલાઇઝેશનએ માત્ર Bitcoin જ નહીં પરંતુ સમગ્ર ક્રિપ્ટોકરન્સી બજારને ઊંડી અસર કરી છે.

Chocolate is made from cocoa.

New Delhi. Bitcoin dominated last year. In 2024, this cryptocurrency touched the magical figure of 1 lakh dollars. Bitcoin rose by about 140 percent last year. But do you know that another commodity has surpassed Bitcoin in terms of returns. Very few people would have noticed this, but cocoa shone the most in the commodity market with a return of 180 percent. Cocoa is a type of natural product, which is mainly used to make chocolate, cocoa powder and cocoa butter.

There are several reasons behind the rise in cocoa prices. First, adverse weather in major producing countries such as Ivory Coast and Ghana limited production. These countries provide about 70% of the world's total cocoa production. Along with this, concerns about crop-related diseases further aggravated the problem. In addition, global stock shortages, rising cargo transportation costs, and years of low investment in cocoa farming further deepened the supply crisis.

How much would have been the profit on an investment of 1 lakh

If someone had invested Rs 1 lakh in bitcoin last year, then with an increase of 140 percent, their money would have increased to Rs 2.40 lakh. On the other hand, if someone had invested Rs 1 lakh in cocoa, then they would have had Rs 2.80 lakh deposited with them.

How to Invest in Cocoa

There are many ways to invest or trade in cocoa. The most popular of these are…..

Futures

Cocoa futures are traded on the NYSE Liffe exchange in London and the NYMEX in New York. This method is for those who want to be directly involved in the commodity market.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

This is a simple and convenient method that gives investors a chance to take advantage of cocoa market movements.

CFDs (Contracts for Difference)

Through CFDs, investors can take advantage of fluctuations in cocoa prices.

Spread Betting

In this method, investors bet on the rise or fall of cocoa prices.

A look at the growth of Bitcoin

Bitcoin recorded a tremendous surge in 2024, with its price rising by more than 140% to reach $108,353 in early December. This year, Bitcoin also crossed the historic milestone of $100,000, taking its total market capitalization to over $2 trillion. The main reasons behind this increase were the launch of Bitcoin spot exchange traded funds (ETFs) in January 2024 and the reduction in supply after the fourth halving event in April. The price above $100,000 and this high market capitalization have had a profound impact not only on Bitcoin but the entire cryptocurrency market.

The bravery and courage he had shown. We were not married at the time of the war. We married after two years of it.

8. Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed annually on July 26, commemorates the success of Operation Vijay in 1999. During this conflict, Indian forces successfully reclaimed strategic positions in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir that had been infiltrated by Pakistani soldiers and terrorists.

9. Retired Brigadier Kushal Thakur, the former commanding officer of the 18 Grenadiers, recalled that 34 soldiers from his unit sacrificed their lives to recapture the crucial peaks of Tololing and Tiger Hill in the Drass sector. He expressed that, despite the immense loss, it is heartening to see the families of these brave soldiers smiling once again.

Retired Brig Kushal Thakur said, “ As a commanding officer, I have a lot of bittersweet memories but it is important to sacrifice certain things for the country. 34 jawans sacrificed their lives. I still have the memories of those jawans and they will be with me till I die. Their families' also made a lot of sacrifices. Today when I see those families they have suffered huge losses. Youths belonging to the age group 22 or 23 lost their lives and their children who were a few months old could not see the faces of their fathers. After 25 years they could overcome that sadness and it feels good to see them smiling again.”

The tour will begin with the T20Is on July 27 before the ODIs kick in on August 2. In many ways, this Sri Lanka tour marks a new chapter in Indian cricket.

According to the Times of India (TOI), the 60-year-old farmer came to the doctors with a complaint about a severe stomachache. The medical professionals performed an X-ray, which revealed the presence of the bottle gourd in his rectum. It is, however, unclear how the vegetable ended up in his rectum.
