Cross-Asset Correlations
Over the past 90 trading days, EUR/USD and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.52. A value near +1 means they move together, near −1 they move opposite, near 0 there is no linear link. For portfolio diversification, low or negative correlations are valuable because they smooth out volatility.

Foreign Exchange (Forex)
All currency pairs are listed in the forex overview.
The key pair EUR/USD moved -0.09%: the US dollar firmed against the euro, showing relative strength. 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
Since September 23, 2026, 3 new auction records have come in. Unlike on an exchange, no price forms here every day. The news is what actually changed hands.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic cars | 3 | $85,000 | Porsche 911 Turbo (930) · 1975–1989 Sep 26, 2026 | $161,000 |
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 21, 2026, 9 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 13 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 604.5, +234.3% against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of September 21, 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 +7.7%, 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, 91 days before this report. The gap reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data. A new reading has landed since the previous report.
| Series | Level | Prior print | 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States (Case-Shiller) Jul 1, 2026 new | 337.3 | +0.1% | +2.3% |
| Germany Mar 31, 2026 | 153.4 | +0.3% | +1.4% |
| Euro area Mar 31, 2026 | 157.4 | +0.9% | +4.6% |
