International gold and silver prices reached new highs on Friday.
In gold futures, the most actively traded contracts -- those for Feb 2026 -- exceeded 4,580 U.S. dollars per ounce, while silver futures for March broke the 79 U.S. dollars per ounce mark, nearing 80.
Currently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for silver stands at 93.86, the highest reading since January 1980. Market analysts suggest that an RSI above 70 suggests the market is overdone on the upside and due for a corrective pullback.
