— Why it matters today
Silver is taking the heavier hit while geopolitical risk keeps safe-haven demand in focus, off 1.11% while gold holds up better and keeps the ratio near 61.1.
Gold is now up 2.9% over the past week, gold is trading close to the key $4,700.00 level, a softer dollar at 98.53 is still a tailwind, while the gold/silver ratio at 61.1 keeps the safety-versus-beta trade in focus.
