Precious Metal Prices
Gold and Silver, Six Decades
Monthly prices since 1960. The two great bull markets, the 1970s after the dollar left gold convertibility and the post-2000 run, dwarf everything in between. Silver is plotted on its own axis because it trades in tens of dollars against gold's thousands.
