Gold/Silver Ratio Creeping Back Up — Anyone Else Watching This?

7 February 2026

Had a look at the ratio this morning and it's sitting around 64:1 again. Historically when it pushes past 80:1 it's been a strong signal that silver is undervalued relative to gold. Some analysts are saying we could see it head back towards 100:1 if gold keeps climbing and silver stays flat. For me personally, when the ratio gets above 80 I start shifting more of my monthly budget towards silver. Worked out well in 2020 when the ratio hit 120:1 and then snapped back. Curious what everyone else thinks — are you watching the ratio when deciding what to buy, or do you just stick to one metal regardless?

Still good time for gold but if it gets back to 100/1 going to swap some gold to silver

Yeah still at a point of buying Gold for me is better - then when it gets back to close 100/1 back to silver for me

Been watching this closely. Anything above 80:1 and I swap some gold for silver, below 60:1 and I do the reverse. It is a simple strategy but has worked well historically. The ratio is definitely one to keep an eye on right now.

Good call on the ratio. With everything vaulted, I tend to focus more on steady, long-term accumulation rather than precise timing. That said, silver certainly looks compelling at these levels to balance the stack out over time.
