Gold-Silver Ratio

Q: How is the gold-silver ratio calculated?

Divide the gold price per ounce by the silver price per ounce. At $4,000 gold and $50 silver, the ratio is 80.

Q: Does a high ratio mean buy silver?

Many traders treat very high ratios as silver being relatively cheap, but the ratio can stay stretched for years — it is a valuation hint, not timing advice.

The gold-silver ratio tells you how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold — divide the gold price by the silver price. Around 70 is typical in recent years; extremes have marked historic turning points.

Traders use the ratio for pair trades: a very high ratio (silver cheap vs gold) has often preceded silver outperforming, while a very low ratio suggests the opposite. It is a sentiment gauge, not a crystal ball.
