"The 100-year average gold-silver ratio is roughly 40:1, and the long-run historical average stretches back to approximately 15:1. A reversion toward even the 100-year average would put silver at around $117 per ounce."
"Roughly half of annual silver demand comes from industrial applications: solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and electronics. The Silver Institute projects 2026 will mark the sixth consecutive year of structural market deficit."
"Over the past year, the fund returned 128%, compared to roughly 50% for gold over the same period. Silver consistently amplifies gold's moves, which is exactly the characteristic that makes the ratio gap so compelling."
Gold has surged, but silver remains undervalued with a gold-to-silver ratio near 63:1, compared to historical averages of 40:1 and 15:1. A reversion to these averages could see silver prices rise significantly. The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is a physically-backed fund that captures silver's price appreciation, with no dividend yield. Industrial demand for silver is strong, contributing to a structural market deficit. SLV has outperformed gold in returns over the past year and five years, highlighting silver's potential for explosive growth.
