The gold-silver ratio
The gold-silver ratio is a key metric valued by investors to gauge the price relationship between gold and silver. For instance, a gold-silver ratio of 50 implies that 50 grams of silver have the same value as 1 gram of gold.
This ratio is commonly used by investors to shape their strategies for investing in both gold and silver.
How has the price of gold in GBP evolved in the last 5 years?
Firstly, it is important to recognise that five years is a short time in investing. Especially when it comes to investing in gold, which is widely regarded as a very long-term investment (i.e. at least 20 years).
However, the gold price in GBP has risen from £31.52 per gram on April 19th, 2019 to £62.08 per gram by April 19th, 2024, which is a significant rise for a relatively short time period. Economic uncertainty, global geopolitical tensions, and the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have played a role in boosting the demand for gold and raising the price.
How has the gold price in GBP evolved over a longer time period?
Over the 10-year period from April 2014 to April 2024, the GBP gold price rose by almost 150%. However, between February 1968 and April 2024, the price rose by more than 12,000%.
Remember that the value of gold in GBP is also strongly influenced by the GBP-USD exchange rate. For example, if GBP becomes stronger against USD, gold becomes more accessible for UK investors, as more gold can be purchased per £1,000.
How will the price of gold in GBP change in the future?
It is not possible for anyone to predict the future price of gold or any other commodity in GBP or other currencies. However, what we do know is that the gold price often rises during periods of economic volatility, as many investors prefer to transfer some of their wealth to safe havens when stock market is performing poorly and/or inflation rises.
While past performance is never a guarantee of future performance, because gold is a rare metal and is highly regarded as a safe haven during uncertainty, it has the potential to become more valuable over a long period of time, especially as it has a strong track record of outperforming inflation. This is why investing in gold can be an effective long-term savings method to help you build and protect your wealth.
