Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
According to a new ECB report, the dollar’s role as the dominant global reserve currency is steadily eroding, falling from 68% to 58% over the past decade. In 2024 alone, it lost 2 percentage points of market share. However, the euro has struggled to capitalize on this shift, maintaining its roughly 20% share while smaller currencies and gold have been the primary beneficiaries.
Central banks worldwide are increasingly turning to gold as a hedge against uncertainty, purchasing over 1,000 metric tons in 2024—double the previous decade’s average. This surge reflects growing concerns about geopolitical risks and the need for portfolio diversification.
Recent market movements suggest potential opportunities for the euro, particularly as investors appear to be demanding higher risk premiums for U.S. assets.
