Limits. This page shows daily readings, not intraday levels; a market can trade above or below them during a session. Readings are Tiingo forex closes at the end of each UTC weekday; the current day is added once it has closed, so the latest reading can trail the market. Records refer only to the history this source carries; older data from other sources may show higher or lower levels. Nothing here is a forecast.

Method and source. Octans Research computes every figure on this page from the full published history of Tiingo series XAGUSD. "Highest since" is the last earlier date when the series was at or above the latest reading. The page is regenerated by a fixed template when a new reading is published; no model wrote it.
