Over the past three years, the price of silver has risen by around 67 percent, and the price of gold has also developed magnificently.

Until the end of the 1960s, the price of gold was practically fixed. The price of silver, on the other hand, was free to fluctuate. US President Franklin D. Roosevelt raised the price of gold in 1934, from 20.67 to 35 US dollars. If the price of gold fell or rose, the price of silver also fell or rose. This is why gold investors are often also silver investors. From 1969 to June 2025, the gold price rose by an average of 8.2 percent, while the silver price rose by 5.5 percent annually. In this respect, gold has the edge and is also less volatile. Nevertheless, there have been periods in which the silver price has outperformed the gold price.

If you look at the gold-silver ratio, it reached record highs of 100 and even higher in 1941, 2020 and 2025. There was a record low in 1968 (17.8). In the longer term, the gold-silver price ratio is around 68. If the gold price remains at its current level or even rises, the silver price should perform better. This could quickly lead to a significant rise in the silver price. At the moment, the gold-silver ratio is close to 100.

Historical patterns are all well and good, but with today’s political and economic events, both precious metals could trend significantly higher. This is because unpredictable changes are not included in historical patterns. This is one reason why gold and silver should be seen as long-term investments that shine as assets, especially in turbulent times. Physical gold is superior to silver in terms of quantity and weight.

But if the price of silver goes up, silver should become even more attractive to investors. Investors have no problem with storage if they concentrate on the stocks of gold and silver companies such as Sierra Madre Gold and Silver or Fortuna Mining.
