How to calculate the methanol to gold ratio
Methanol to Gold ratio = Methanol 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 methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $4,644.52 = 0.6160. The inverse is 1.623.
