Today at 9 AM ET, gold is priced at $4,873.50 and silver at $76.60. Consequently, the gold-to-silver ratio has widened to 63.62, up from yesterday’s 61.85. Because silver fell more sharply (-5.69%) than gold (-2.99%) over the last 24 hours, the ratio indicates that silver has become "cheaper" relative to gold. Many precious metals investors use this widening ratio as a signal to rotate capital into silver, anticipating it will eventually outperform gold in the next leg up.
