NEAR Is the Day's Biggest Loser, Down 16.3% – October 8, 2026

After the US close on October 8, 2026, the markets tracked by Alysly showed noticeable risk aversion: 21 of 95 monitored assets (22%) closed higher. The most pronounced move came from the crypto asset NEAR at -16.3%. The major equity indices moved -0.8% on average, while digital assets came in at -2.0%.

A single trading day is only a small slice: over longer periods, asset classes, regions and holding period shape a portfolio's result more than any one day's move.

Crypto averaged -2.0%. The biggest gainer among liquid coins was OGN at +99.9%, with NEAR trailing at -16.3%. Crypto remains the most volatile asset class covered here. Daily swings of this magnitude are normal and say little about the long-term trend.

Commodities & Precious Metals

All series: commodities and precious metals.

Precious metals averaged -0.4%, energy and industrial commodities +2.9%. Cyclical commodities outran metals, often a sign of growth and demand optimism. Gold is a traditional hedge, while crude oil and copper act as growth barometers.

Foreign Exchange (Forex)

All currency pairs are listed in the forex overview.

The key pair EUR/USD moved +0.08%: the euro gained on the US dollar, so the dollar was relatively weaker. A firmer dollar tends to weigh on commodities and emerging markets, a weaker one supports them. Prices are drawn from CME FX futures.

Real Assets: New Hammer Prices

In the window since October 1, 2026, 3 new hammer prices are on file. An auction price is not a quote: it is struck once, between two bidders, and applies to one specific item.

Median = the middle hammer price among this window's records, not the value of a fixed position. It moves simply because different items come up for sale each week. The price index below avoids exactly this composition effect. Prices are hammer prices including the buyer's premium.

No lot changed hands in trading cards in this window. The most recent recorded sale dates from September 28, 2026, 10 days back. With few, high-priced items such gaps are the norm, not a data outage. Nothing was sold at auction in watches in this window. The last sale on file is 21 days old (September 17, 2026). Where trading is rare and expensive, gaps like this belong to the market rather than to a failed fetch.

The trading-card price index stands at 621.0, +243.1% against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of September 28, 2026). It measures price changes of the same good rather than the median of a changing offer. Against the previous reading (June 29, 2026) that is +10.4%, a quarterly figure rather than a daily one.

Residential Property: An Official Index, Not a Hammer Price

For residential property there are no individual sales to report: prices there are formed in statistics, not under the hammer. The latest available reading is July 1, 2026, 99 days before this report. The gap reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data.
