Understanding Precious Metals Ratios
The Gold/Silver ratio shows how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. A high ratio (above 80) historically suggests silver is undervalued relative to gold, while a low ratio (below 50) may indicate gold is relatively cheap. The long-term average is approximately 65.
The Gold/Platinum ratio measures gold's value relative to platinum. Historically platinum traded at a premium to gold, but since 2015 gold has consistently been more expensive. A ratio above 1.0 means gold costs more per ounce than platinum.
