Gold-to-silver ratio
The ratio is how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Over the last century it has mostly moved between about 40 and 100; a higher ratio means silver is historically cheaper relative to gold, and a lower ratio the reverse. It's context, not a signal — what matters is your own plan.

Why people hold physical metals
- A tangible asset with no counterparty — you hold it directly.
- A long-standing store of value and a hedge some use against inflation.
- Diversification that often moves differently from stocks and bonds.
- Broadly liquid and recognized worldwide.
Balance matters: metals don't pay interest or dividends, prices can swing, and dealers charge premiums over spot. This page is educational and is not financial advice — do your own research or talk to a qualified advisor before buying or selling.
