Gold/Silver Ratio Hits Highest Since 2020

CROSS ASSET
  • Greenback strength filtering further through markets into the NY crossover, with EUR/USD and GBP/USD printing fresh daily lows. The moves are mirroring the return lower for equity markets, with the e-mini S&P another sign of the risk-off tone present ahead of the Thursday open.
  • Greenback strength is weighing on precious metals, with spot gold dropping toward the $1,800/oz handle and putting prices below the mid-June lows of $1805.22. Further pull lower for the yellow metals puts prices within range of $1787.0 - Low May 16 and bear trigger.
  • Worth noting the pressure on metals isn't uniform however, with silver being hit harder and helping the gold/silver ratio print new multi-year highs and the highest since the depths of the COVID crisis in 2020.
