As highlighted by Otavio (Tavi) Costa, we're currently seeing the biggest drop in the gold-to-silver ratio since 2008.

That move back then marked the start of a long downtrend that eventually took the ratio all the way to 31 over the next three years. Are we heading into a similar setup now? (except we're starting from an even more extreme level). We’ve just dipped below 100; in 2008, the peak was 85. Just to put it in perspective: If the ratio drops to 30 today, silver would be trading around $110 an ounce. Source: Bloomberg, Crescat Capital

The breaking of this relationship is a measure of stress in markets ...

It continues to widen, i.e higher rates are not supporting the dollar right now. Does it mean they might have to go a lot higher to stop the dollar from falling??? Source: Bianco Research
