Recently, I posted this exact same chart, highlighting the price of Silver (NYSEARCA: SLV) to price of Gold (NYSEARCA: GLD) ratio.
At the time, the Silver to Gold 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? For precious metals and inflation?
The top chart is silver.
If the price of silver remains 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 Silver to Gold ratio levels clear that area, I would expect to see silver to play some serious catch up.
Furthermore, with the prospect of the Federal Reserve lowering interest 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.
