How to read the gold/silver ratio
The gold/silver ratio is gold USD/oz ÷ silver USD/oz. The COMEX page shows the live ratio and history. It describes relative richness, not a trade signal and not a Taiwan jewelry board.
Gold price guidesHow to read the gold/silver ratio
Reading high vs low
A rising ratio means one ounce of gold buys more ounces of silver — gold looks expensive versus silver. A falling ratio is the opposite. Historical extremes describe statistics; they do not guarantee mean reversion.
The site uses international futures references (e.g. GC and SI). Days missing gold or silver are omitted, never filled. Long-range charts may use weekly paired closes for readability without rewriting prices.
Relation to Taiwan qian and recycling
The ratio lives in the USD/oz world. Taiwan qian, jewelry theory and recycle estimates still need their own FX and purity steps — you cannot read a TWD trade price from the ratio alone.
For TWD gold, use today’s gold price and jewelry pages; for silver and other metals, use COMEX and global quotes.
News caveats
Industrial demand, mine supply and macro hedging can move gold and silver differently, shifting the ratio. News adds context; ratio trading is out of scope and not advice.

Where is the chart?

Why are some days missing?
Sessions lacking a gold or silver close are skipped so the series stays honest.
