The Gold Silver Ratio Is An Important Indication Of Increasing Silver Costs
The last time the gold silver ratio stood below 40:1 was in February 1998, just right after silver had staged a 33% rally in five weeks, while gold had gained just 4% over the same period (which commenced at the beginning of the year). The contraction within the ratio over the period was from 48.4:1 to 38.1:1.
This time, some thirteen years on, the gold Silver Prices ratio is buying and selling at between 39:1 and 40:1 and a similar contraction has taken precisely the same length of time. This time however, gold and silver are trading at over $1,440 and $36, while back in 1998 they had been at $300 and just over $7.
This time the Silver Prices have jumped up as a result of a sustained belief (whether right or wrong) in gold's upward trend on the back of current geopolitical and inflationary concerns. Both gold and silver are already in sustained bull markets, while in 1998 the change in ratio marked the beginning of a shift in sentiment, even though one that was battered by subsequent external events.
Silver investment can often exceed that of gold for more than just one single reason: a) the history of silver's greater volatility over gold, prompting expert activity with a view to gathering steam on returns; b) silver's lower unit price, which draws in some smaller-scale investors who want exposure to precious metals due to inflationary fears in particular and who do not necessarily have sufficient wealth to invest in gold to any meaningful level; c) within the United States in particular, silver has a long-standing investment decision tradition. This is due to the period when the US dollar was on the gold standard and private people had been prevented from keeping gold, so they used silver as a substitute.
At the beginning of 1998, gold was beginning to stage a recovery following a long period of uncertainty, characterized by intermittent reports of large-scale central bank sales that unsettled market sentiment; this was augmented by increasingly heavy mine hedging and these two fundamental elements, combined with anti-inflationary fiscal policy, had kept gold prices under certain pressure.
What was different about the beginning of 1998 was the putative formation of the European Monetary Union, which gave the marketplaces a degree of comfort and reduced the expectation of official sector sales. (This, obviously, was latterly to be stymied by the announcement in May 1999 by HM Treasury in the UK of the proposed disposal of up to 40% of UK gold holdings; emotion then changed substantially as a result of the institution of the very first Central Bank Gold Agreement in September 1999). Investors began to return to gold and silver was a natural beneficiary of the changes in sentiment.
Interestingly enough, silver manufacturing demand in 1988 was just over 26,000 tonnes; in 2010 it was very close to the same level, suggesting that the market itself is not a lot deeper than it was within the late 1980s. In fact, on the basis of LBMA clearing figures, the December 2010 daily average clearing rate was just below 100 million ounces, much less than one-third of the clearing figures for end-1997.
The framework of the demand side has transformed with industrial demand from customers fluctuating, but photography, jewelry, and silverware falling substantially. Coin demand from customers, by contrast, has been growing steadily.
Sustained retail demand has helped the rise in the price of silver in recent months, highlighting the continued awareness at the retail level of the affordability of silver by comparison with gold. This has been especially marked within the Far East, where silver bullion bars have scarce and commanding high premiums, while India and also the Middle East have also been strong buyers.
Consequently the ratio has to some degree taken on a life of its own and been traded as an outright entity within the bullion markets. Now at 13-year lows it's not in uncharted territory, but is certainly oversold.
While the markets stay bullish about the outlook for gold on the back of sustained inflationary and geopolitical fears, silver is likely to continue to attract attention. The outright price might make silver unattractive for fresh bull positions, but theoretically driven and momentum trades might yet see costs greater if the political scenario is not resolved with a minimum of further damage. Silver has frequently been the leader between the two precious metals due to its lower unit price and greater volatility; the ratio can therefore be regarded as a similar leading indicator. In fact it's probably one of probably the most significant indicators in terms of precious metals market sentiment and, so, with regards to looking for guidance, the chart ought to be watched carefully for signs of reversal. Actually stabilization would be significant; a bounce might well bring about stops. I recommend you buy silver dollar coins and put them away safely for the time coming soon when you may need them.
