The next leg up for precious metals has arrived.

During major bull runs in precious metals, silver typically outperforms gold.

With that in mind, I like to use the silver-to-gold ratio as a means of measuring this relative performance. When silver outperforms gold, this line rises and when silver underperforms gold, this line falls.

As I write this Monday morning, silver is up 10% while gold is barely up 1%. And the silver-to-gold ratio will finally be breaking out of the consolidation range that has controlled its price since August 2020 (blue lines in the chart below).

The big picture here is even more astonishing.

The silver-to-gold ratio has broken out of a 10-year downtrend. Looking at this, it is clear the next bull market in precious metals is officially here.

I want to stress that this is NOT just about the U.S. dollar getting weaker. Silver is breaking out to new highs priced in every major currency: Euro, Yen, and Swiss Francs.

This tells us that this is NOT just about the U.S. dollar losing value. This is a true bull market in which silver as an asset class has begun to rise globally.

Bear in mind, if you choose to invest in this sector, you need to be ready to stomach some MAJOR volatility. It is not unusual for silver to rise or fall 5% in a single day, and silver miners can move double digits in hours.

So, if you’re interested in profiting from this, you HAVE to be willing to “buy and hold” and ride a roller coaster the whole way up.
