How to calculate the steel to silicon ratio
Steel to Silicon ratio = Steel price per Metric Ton ÷ Silicon price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of silicon per Metric Ton of steel — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $3,066.00 ÷ $1,923.91 = 1.594. The inverse is 0.6275.
