Metals Data Charts

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio indicates how many ounces of silver are needed to buy one ounce of gold. This ratio has fluctuated significantly over the past decade. A historical high is often seen as a signal that silver is undervalued relative to gold, potentially indicating an investment opportunity.

Over the past ten years, silver prices have seen significant volatility, influenced by both industrial demand (especially in solar and electronics) and investment demand. Its price trend is often more volatile than gold's, reflecting its dual nature.

Gold prices are primarily affected by global central bank monetary policies, inflation expectations, geopolitical risks, and the strength of the US dollar. Over the last decade, quantitative easing and increased safe-haven demand have been significant drivers of gold prices.

Palladium prices have risen sharply in the last decade, mainly due to its critical use in automotive catalytic converters, with supply concentrated in a few countries, leading to tight supply and demand. However, its long-term demand faces uncertainty with the rise of electric vehicles.

Investors can invest in precious metals in several ways, including buying physical gold bars or silver coins, investing in precious metals ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), purchasing shares of mining companies, or participating in the futures market. Each method has different risk and return characteristics.
