Background

The gold-to-silver ratio is calculated by dividing the spot price of an ounce of gold by the spot price of an ounce of silver, representing how many ounces of silver are required to purchase a single ounce of gold. Historically, a declining ratio indicates that silver is outperforming gold.

In early October 2026, gold has been consolidating around $4,140 per ounce, with silver trading near $60 per ounce, yielding a ratio of approximately 68.4. This sits slightly above the historical median of ~61.6 since 1968. Macroeconomic variables shaping precious metal performance during the week of October 5, 2026, include the release of U.S. Federal Reserve minutes and shifting Treasury yields.
