Silver Price Soars 27% YTD, Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 2012 Lows

News Flash 2026-01-18 12:15

Silver prices have surged over 27% year-to-date, reaching $91 per ounce, as the gold-to-silver ratio drops to about 50, its lowest since 2012. This rally is primarily driven by speculative momentum and short squeezes, according to Bank of Montreal (BMO), which warns of potential trend reversals. Despite geopolitical uncertainties and "meme" trading possibly sustaining short-term gains, BMO highlights a medium to long-term physical silver surplus, with demand from the solar sector potentially peaking. BiyaPay analysts caution that extreme gold-to-silver ratio levels often signal impending asset rotation, advising caution against short-term price chasing due to volatility risks. BiyaPay offers users the ability to trade US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies using USDT, facilitating flexible asset management in response to market shifts.
