How investors use the ratio
Some precious-metal investors use the ratio to decide which metal looks relatively cheap: a high ratio means silver is cheap compared with gold, and a low ratio means gold is cheap compared with silver. The ratio has no fixed “normal” level – it has ranged widely over the past century – so it is a rule of thumb, not a forecast.
