#Gold rising on tariff turmoil. Gold will more likely soar if China’s bubble bursts due to strain of tariffs than because of any gold backed or gold convertible yawn bs story

Gold moves first. Perhaps traders realizing that silver is NOT gold and if there are events in play that are bullish for gold- they want to get on the gold train now – plenty of time to catch the silver train later if the gold one gathers steam https://t.co/g4iHIbpklo
— Smaulgld (@Smaulgld) April 8, 2018
Gold closed last week at $1325.20 an ounce and closed this week at $1333.10 %
Silver closed last week at $16.35 an ounce and closed this week at $16.35 +0%
The gold and silver ratio ended the week at 81.32:1
There is no “historic” gold silver ratio that must be regained.
The gold silver ratio was dramatically impacted from 1934-1974 because the price of gold was SET at $35 by the Gold act of 1934. Even so the gold silver ratio averaged about 40-1 from 1915-1971.
They mine ten times more gold than platinum. How come platinum is not 10x the price of gold? because relative rarity is NOT the sole determinate of price.
A gold silver ratio of 16-1 was set as a political accommodation in the 18th century in order to establish a bi-metallic standard, it wasn’t market driven.
the history of gold and silver as monetary metals during the periods is also a major factor as are including but not limited to:
bimetallic standard history 1792+
gold rush 1849-1856 impact and the sinking of the S.S. Central America in 1857
Democratic silver platform/free silver movement 1896
Pitman Act 1918 and other pro silver mining industry measures
gold in US coinage removal 1933
Gold act of 1934 setting price at $35
silver in US coinage removal 1965
gold standard abandonment 1971
reintroduction of legalized US gold holding 1974
Hunt brothers impact on silver
changing silver industrial use from photography to electronics
central bank gold holding vs no central bank silver holdings
Rise of Indian and Chinese gold and silver demand
My view on gold and silver is aside from sharing some monetary history, they are enough dissimilar that make meaningful comparisons non instructive and perhaps odious.
Gold and silver are not the same metals, they have different properties and different uses. Relative rarity is not the only determinate in arrive at price.
Silver is a spike and dive metal.
