Welcome to Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter with Richard Schwary, written regularly after the CME close. This commentary will look at the gold, silver, platinum and palladium markets and consider what happened to create these changes on the trading floor. It will also offer world class commentary from other sources in a balanced and straightforward manner.
This Almost Famous Gold Newsletter is not designed to sell products or hype markets. It will offer an opinion about market direction from an old time bullion dealer with 50 years of physical trading experience.
Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter may include talk about premiums, why they change and how this drives public choice. On occasion we remind readers to be careful about “so-called” bullion products offered by telemarketers who should be ashamed of themselves.
In a world which has been turned on its head with currency expansion Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter is finding a niche among precious metals readers looking for something fun, useful and not too serious.

We promise you will not be accosted with immediate get-rich schemes or telephone calls trying to sell you something you don’t want under the guise of something you can’t live without. We are proud to say we do not employ telemarketers – everyone is salaried. And each representative is eager to actually answer your questions while providing the best bullion prices.

Gold – Fresh Record Highs
Commentary for Jan, 16, 2026 – Today gold closed down $27.90 at $4588.40, and silver closed down $3.79 at $88.09. It is true that gold made fresh record highs this week, but there is a great deal of uncertainty in the recent pricing model because Chief Powell’s next move is linked to how aggressive the FOMC becomes […]
Gold – Bullish Sentiment Rises
Commentary for Jan, 9, 2026 – Today gold closed up $40.60 at $4490.30, and silver closed up $4.16 at $78.88. It’s getting easier to make the case that the price of gold is no longer consolidating and is gaining fresh bullish traction as the US labor market slows. The idea here being that the Fed will be […]

Commentary for Wednesday, Dec 31, 2025 – Today gold closed down $44.50 at $4325.60, and silver closed down $7.24 at $70.13.

Gold – All Time Highs
Commentary for Wednesday, Dec 24, 2025 (www.golddealer.com) – Today gold closed down $2.20 at $4480.60, and silver closed up $0.54 at $71.03.

Investors are still hoping for a Christmas surprise in gold but in the meantime this week’s pricing has been very quiet, gold closing today mildly in the green from last Friday. I would not read too […]

Commentary for Friday, Dec 12, 2025 – Today gold closed up $14.60 at $4300.10, and silver closed down $2.57 at $61.36. While the momentum players will be disappointed with how gold prices finished today, it may not be an overstatement to call this a watershed week for both gold and silver. Now don’t get me wrong, I […]
Gold – Ready For Higher Prices
Commentary for Friday, Dec 5, 2025 – Today gold closed up $1.10 at $4212.90, and silver closed up $1.57 at $58.42. Today the price of gold pushed to daily highs ($4260.00) in early trading, but this bullish rally was then heavily sold and gold closed the day almost unchanged. This is the kind of tough overhead resistance […]
Gold – Underlying Strength
Commentary for Friday, Nov 26, 2025 (www.golddealer.com) – Today gold closed up $26.00 at $4165.20, and silver closed up $1.99 at $52.92.
