Gold Silver Ratio

Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020 Jun 11, 2020 - 05:19 PM GMT

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Commodities

I am afraid I have got some bad news for all the Silver bugs out there, for the gold / silver ratio chart makes it crystal clear that Silver is NOT a safe haven precious metal. Yes you may still call it a precious metal but it is NOT GOLD! That's for sure!


So come to terms with the fact that Silver given the facts on this chart is NOT a safe haven. For if Silver were a safe haven the Gold / Silver ratio would not have rocketed to over 130! When the SHTF investors did not buy Silver they bought Gold! In fact they DUMPED Silver!

SILVER IS NO LONGER A PRECIOUS METAL! If it were a precious metal than the ratio should not have gone about 95, instead it rocketed to 132! So Silver whilst we can all buy silver coins and bars, Silver is mainly an industrial metal, a bit like copper, so we should not look towards silver for immunity during crisis.

That's not to say that it won't be influenced by the inflation mega-trend it's just that contrary to the financial crisis when Silver WAS a precious metal rising from about $12 to $25. This time Silver has not done what a precious metal should have done at a time of crisis.

All we can glean from the Gold / Silver ratio chart is whether Silver is cheap relative to gold or not. However the problem is that Silver cannot be expected to react in a similar manner to Gold in a crisis which means Cheaper silver can get a whole lot cheaper than anyone can imagine!

So is Silver cheap relative to Gold? YES it is, as long as there is not another market panic which would trigger another sell off in Silver.

A fair ratio to Gold would be about 85, which would put the Silver price at $20.30, so there is further room for Silver to play catchup to the Gold price as long as there is not another market panic around the corner! Whilst recent extremes have seen the ratio fall to 50, which would project to a Silver price of $34.86, obviously the ratio falling to 50 is not very probable anytime soon.
