That despite the fact that there are some differences to the fundamental drivers behind the rally for both precious metals. However, the other point that can be made is based on the mean reversion theory with regards to the gold-to-silver ratio. That if you believe historical precedence and the mean reversion value of the two precious metals. In that lieu, any retracements in precious metals look likely to punish silver much more than it would gold. That is if you are to go by the mean reversion theory tied to the gold-to-silver ratio.
