Oil is cheap compared to gold In the 20 years from 2000 - 2019, 1 oz of gold could buy 20 barrels of oil.
From 1946 - 2021, the average is 16.53.
If we use any of these 2 numbers and with the recent surge in gold prices, we could see oil trade between $118 and $143 just to get back to mean reversion.
In other words, oil is very cheap relative to gold.
