A declining gold / silver ratio makes silver an attractive buy.
(1888PressRelease) October 17, 2011 - MIAMI, FL - As physical demand for gold remains high, especially from India with the approach of Diwali, silver is also looking attractive. The gold / silver ratio is declining, making silver arguably a more attractive buy at present. In the early part of 2011, silver markedly outperformed gold, on safe-haven and industrial demand. The gold / silver ratio declined from January, though it has recently increased again, currently averaging around 50. Even though this is higher than earlier in the year, it is a marked decrease on the ratio last year, which averaged around 70.
For buyers in India, gold is the preferred metal, especially as we approach Diwali and a major wedding season. Gold, gold jewelry and gold ornaments are all popular gifts at this time. However, silver offers a more accessible price point, both for jewelry and as a safe haven. Silver prices today, October 14, were up 47 cents at $32.12.
"Investors have been wary of silver since the spring," says Bill Hionas, CEO of Pan American Metals of Miami. "However, silver has stayed firmly over $30 an ounce for some time now. Silver benefits from both safe-haven and industrial demand and offers investors a more attractive price point for entry into the precious metals bullion market."
