March silver futures gained 6% to $93.85 an ounce, after reaching a record $94.745.

Spot gold rose 1% to a new record of $4,716.14 an ounce, while spot silver edged down about 0.25% to $94.13, after previously hitting an all-time high of $94.72.

The dollar index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.45% to 98.96 at 09:28 a.m. Riyadh time.
