Gold price extends loss as Fed cuts rates, signals less easing
New forecasts showed several officials penciled in fewer rate cuts for next year than estimated.
The gold:silver ratio, which describes silver’s buying power by dividing the per-ounce price of gold by that of silver, has averaged 60:1 over the past 35 years, meaning it’s taken 60 ounces of silver to purchase one ounce of gold. Though with silver’s most recent push to the $36/oz level, it now takes much less.
