Silver Outperforms Oil in Prices
Normally, oil is much more expensive than silver.
But right now, a barrel of oil costs about $58, while an ounce of silver costs about $76.
This is unusual because silver has more than doubled in price this year, while oil prices have gone down by nearly 20%.
So, it takes less than one ounce of silver to buy a barrel of oil.
This isn't something we usually see, and it shows how much silver prices have gone up compared to oil.
