Meanwhile, the Gold/Silver ratio, which measures the number of troy ounces of silver needed to equal the value of one troy ounce of gold, rose to 76.10 on Wednesday, compared to 75.69 on Tuesday. This ratio serves as a key indicator for investors assessing the relative valuation of gold and silver. A higher ratio is often interpreted as suggesting that silver may be undervalued or that gold is overvalued, potentially prompting investors to consider buying silver or selling gold. Conversely, a lower ratio may indicate that gold is undervalued relative to silver.
