Silver prices have increased by 11.86% since the beginning of the year.

The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of troy ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one troy ounce of Gold, stood at 83.54 on Thursday, down from 83.72 on Wednesday.

Some may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued - or Gold is overvalued - and might buy Silver or sell Gold accordingly. Conversely, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
