Gold-to-silver ratio — live + historical
The classic precious-metals signal, charted with 264 months of data. Current ratio 59.7.
What is the gold-to-silver ratio?
The gold-to-silver ratio is simply the number of ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. A ratio of 80 means silver is "80x cheaper" than gold by weight. For stackers, it's a quick signal of relative value between the two metals.
How stackers use it
Many precious-metals investors use the ratio as a rotation guide: when the ratio runs high (silver is "cheap"), they tilt purchases toward silver; when the ratio is low (silver is "expensive"), they tilt toward gold. Over the period shown (Sep 2000 — May 2026) the ratio averaged 69.1 with a range of 32.0–113.0.
Historical context
For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the ratio sat between 15 and 50. Since the end of the gold standard, the ratio has averaged closer to 69.1, with notable spikes during financial crises. Today it sits at 59.7 — below its recent 30-day average of 81.8.
