How to read the four ratios
Each ratio divides one price by another, so no currency is involved. The shaded band in each chart marks where the ratio has spent the middle half of its history; a value outside the band is unusual by the ratio's own record.

How many ounces of silver one ounce of gold buys. A high number means silver is cheap relative to gold, which has often happened in times of stress. A low number means silver has caught up.
S&P 500 in gold
