The Gold to Dow ratio reached an all-time-high of 1.01 in January 1980, when the price of gold hit $878, and the Dow Jones was trading in a range. Since, stocks outperformed gold almost uninterruptedly for 2 decades, until August 1999, when the ratio reached an all time low of 0.02. Both the all-time-high and low occurred on an intraday basis, which explains why they aren't apparent on our TradingView chart, which is based on closing prices.
