Historical data suggests 10 to 1 ratio in prices between Gold and Crude

Some of the world's leading experts expect to see gold hold its ground even if oil continues to decline. In fact, the gold bug clique believes in a consistent 10-to-1 ratio for gold and oil. It holds that either gold will rise to 10 times a barrel of oil ($1,350 an ounce) or oil will fall to $96 a barrel–one-tenth the present market price of gold. According to them statistics spanning many decades support, on average, this 10-to-1 ratio.
