Silver To Gold Ratio-Tip Of The Inflation Iceberg
Recently, I posted these exact same charts.
At the time, the ratio did not look ready to do much.
Since then, and with the help of lower global interest rates, the chart looks a bit different.
Are we getting ready to experience a sea change?
The top chart is silver.
If levels remain above 14.05, that could be a sign for the ratio to finally flip.
The bottom chart shows the moving averages and Bollinger bands.
The red line is the 20-day moving average.
Should the ratio levels clear that area, I would expect to see silver play some serious catch-up.
Furthermore, with the prospect of the Federal Reserve lowering rates later this year, we could see inflation indicators also flip.
Plus, the dollar traded lower and with the weather conditions on crops dicey, inflation could go beyond what anybody wants to see.
Finally, with any trade settlement in China, I would certainly expect this ratio to continue to favor silver and other commodities as well.
I suspect that equities will get an initial boost, but could easily peak out and turn lower.
Stay tuned.
