Gold/Silver Ratio

69.22

69.22 ounces of silver per ounce of gold

The gold/silver ratio shows how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Historically, this ratio has ranged from 15:1 to over 100:1. A high ratio (above 80) suggests silver is relatively cheap compared to gold, while a low ratio (below 50) suggests silver is relatively expensive. The ratio can be used by investors to time switches between the two metals.

Gold/Oil Ratio

46.64

46.64 barrels of oil per ounce of gold

The gold/oil ratio shows how many barrels of oil can be purchased with one ounce of gold. This ratio often reflects the balance between financial safe-haven demand (gold) and industrial commodity demand (oil). A rising ratio suggests gold is outperforming oil, often seen during economic uncertainty. A falling ratio suggests oil is strengthening, typically during economic growth periods.

How to Use These Ratios

Gold/Silver Ratio

When the ratio is high (silver is cheap relative to gold), some investors buy silver expecting mean reversion. When the ratio is low (silver is expensive relative to gold), they may favor gold. The ratio is not predictive but helps understand relative value.

Gold/Oil Ratio

This ratio tends to rise during recessions and financial crises (gold outperforms) and fall during strong economic growth (oil outperforms). It can serve as a rough gauge of economic health and risk sentiment.
