Compare live gold and silver performance with stocks, Bitcoin, oil, currencies and other major global assets
GOLD PERFORMANCE
Gold vs. Other Markets
Gold remains the reference. Choose a market above, then switch between 1M, 3M, YTD and 1Y inside the chart. Hover or tap for exact values.
Compare Gold and Silver With Global Markets
Gold and silver rarely move in isolation. Their performance is influenced by the U.S. dollar, equity markets, commodities, monetary policy, inflation expectations and changing investor sentiment.
The Live Gold & Silver vs Other Assets tool makes it easier to compare precious metals with major global assets across different time periods. Instead of looking only at the current gold or silver price, you can see how each metal is performing relative to stocks, Bitcoin, oil, currencies and other precious metals.
This provides useful context for understanding whether a move in gold or silver is specific to precious metals or part of a broader shift across financial markets.
For a wider real-time overview, the Live Gold, Silver & Global Market Dashboard brings together precious metals, stocks, commodities, currencies, ETFs, miners and crypto in one place.
Gold vs Stocks, Bitcoin and Other Assets
Gold is often compared with traditional financial assets such as equities and bonds, but increasingly also with Bitcoin and other alternative stores of value.
Comparing gold with the S&P 500 or Nasdaq can show whether capital is favoring defensive assets or risk assets over a selected period. Comparing gold with Bitcoin offers another perspective on how traditional and digital alternative assets perform under the same market conditions.
The relationship between gold and the U.S. dollar is also important. Because gold is internationally priced in dollars, movements in the dollar can influence precious metals prices, although the relationship is not always perfectly inverse.

Silver vs Other Assets
Silver behaves differently from gold because it combines monetary characteristics with significant industrial demand.
That makes comparisons with stocks, oil and other commodities particularly useful. Silver can respond not only to monetary conditions and investment flows, but also to expectations surrounding industrial production, electrification and global economic activity.
You can also compare gold and silver directly through the Gold/Silver Ratio, which shows how many ounces of silver are required to equal the value of one ounce of gold.
For investors following futures positioning behind these price movements, the Gold & Silver COT and Open Interest Tracker provides additional insight into how major market participants are positioned.
Price Performance Is Only Part of the Market
Relative performance helps show which assets are leading or lagging, but it does not explain every factor behind a price move.
Physical supply conditions can also matter. The Gold & Silver Inventory Tracker follows official inventory data from major precious metals markets, while the Gold & Silver Prices in China & India tool provides additional context on regional pricing and physical market premiums or discounts.
Together, these tools provide a broader view of gold and silver beyond the headline spot price.
