Silver is Cheap!

Last trading just above USD $14oz and below AUD $20oz, it’s been a tough few weeks for silver, which is now down almost USD $1oz, or 5% since the start of November.

The decline in silver has helped bring the gold to silver ratio (GSR) to 85:1, more than double what it was back in 2011.

As per the chart below, silver is now at its cheapest point relative to gold in 25 years.
 

Whilst we could see some more downside short-term, especially if gold fails to hold USD $1,200oz, we think anything below AUD $20oz will prove to be a bargain.

As a result, we’ve topped up our SMSF this week, confident these holdings will deliver strong returns over the next 5 years.
