Gold-to-silver ratio (live)

The ratio is how many ounces of silver equal the value of one ounce of gold (gold spot ÷ silver spot). Informational only — not financial advice or a prediction.

The US holds no official silver reserve, so this compares the money supply to all silver held in COMEX vaults (registered + eligible): … (…).
Loading live spot…
How it's calculated: Paper to gold = US M2 money supply ÷ (US gold reserve ounces × gold spot price). Implied gold price = M2 ÷ gold reserve ounces. Implied silver price = M2 ÷ total COMEX silver ounces (registered + eligible); paper to silver = implied silver price ÷ silver spot.
Inputs: M2 = $23.34 trillion (Aug 2026, seasonally adjusted; FRED M2SL, updated monthly). US gold reserve = 261,498,926 troy oz (as of Aug 31, 2026; US Treasury, Status Report of U.S. Government Gold Reserve). Spot prices: gold-api.com (approximate spot, not COMEX settlements). Silver basis: total COMEX silver (registered + eligible) from tank.json (refreshed by the weekday check). A comparison, not a government holding.

Spot vs M1 money calculator
How we calculate
Implied gold = backing% × M1 ÷ US gold reserve oz. Implied silver = backing% × M1 ÷ total COMEX silver oz (registered + eligible). Multiple = implied ÷ live spot.

Physical tightness score
How the score is calculated
Score (0–100, higher = tighter) = average of two components:
- Inventory component = 100 − percentile of today's registered ounces within the recent daily history we hold (currently ~30 days for silver).
- Coverage component = 100 − min(100, registered oz ÷ (futures open interest × contract size) × 100).
If a component's input is unavailable it is shown as pending and the score uses the remaining component only (marked "partial"). The short history window means the percentile is a recent-trend measure, not a long-term one.

What is force majeure?
Force majeure is a contract clause that lets a party delay or skip its obligations when extraordinary events outside its control happen, such as war, a natural disaster, or a government order. In a COMEX context, it could allow delays to physical delivery during a genuine emergency instead of counting as a breach. This is general information only. It is not a prediction that it will happen, and it is not financial advice.
