How to calculate the lithium to gold ratio
Lithium to Gold ratio = Lithium price per Metric Ton ÷ Gold price per Troy Ounce
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Troy Ounces of gold per Metric Ton of lithium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $160,500.00 ÷ $4,647.90 = 34.53. The inverse is 0.02896.
