Gold-silver ratio rises to 68 as metals trade on shifting risks
On Tuesday, the gold-silver ratio climbed to 68, signaling gold is outperforming silver based on the ounces of silver needed to buy one ounce of gold.
The gold-silver ratio stayed volatile in 2026 as gold and silver prices reacted to shifting geopolitical risks, changing expectations around central bank policy, and evolving investor sentiment, LiveMint Markets said.
On Tuesday, the ratio rose to 68. The gold-silver ratio measures how many ounces of silver are needed to buy one ounce of gold.
A rising ratio generally indicates gold is outperforming silver, while a falling ratio points to silver gaining relative strength, according to the same account. Investors track the indicator to judge relative valuation and to consider rebalancing their precious metals exposure.
LiveMint Markets also noted that central bank purchases and industrial demand influence both metals, and it recommended using a staggered approach rather than an all-at-once switch between them.
