The gold/silver ratio is a classic relative-value trade. Long-term mean is ~60. Above 80 historically means silver is cheap relative to gold.
Platinum traded at a premium to gold for most of the 20th century. The current inversion (platinum below gold) is historically rare.
Both are PGMs used in autocatalysts. Palladium dominates gasoline engines; platinum dominates diesel. EV transition is bearish for both.
Both are electrification metals. Aluminum is 40% the price of copper by weight but 60% as conductive. Grid builders substitute between them.
The Brent-WTI spread reflects US shale supply dynamics vs global seaborne supply. A widening spread means US production is outpacing export capacity.
Two contrasting energy transition stories. Lithium is in structural oversupply; uranium faces a supply deficit. Both powered the 2020-2022 bull run.
