Real assets: new hammer prices

In the window since 16 September 2026, 57 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 watches in this window. The most recent recorded sale dates from 13 June 2026, 102 days back. With few, high-priced items such gaps are the norm, not a data outage.

The trading-card price index stands at 604.5, +234.3 % against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of 21 September 2026). It measures price changes of the same good rather than the median of a changing offer. Against the previous reading (29 June 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 1 June 2026, 114 days before this report. The gap reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data.

Data note 1

Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, EUR/USD and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.53. 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.

Summary

All told, September 23, 2026 was a day of noticeable risk aversion across the markets Alysly tracks: 11 of 79 assets gained. The headline came from PEPE at -13.0 %. Across asset classes, equities led (-1.4 %) while crypto lagged (-3.6 %). The correlation between EUR/USD and Gold stood at +0.53, a gauge of how much diversification benefit combining the two currently offers. Away from the capital markets, the top hammer price was Crystal Charizard #146 · Skyridge (2003) at $192,000, a price struck at a single table rather than on an exchange. A single trading day is only a small slice, though: over longer periods, asset classes, regions and holding period shape a portfolio's result more than any one day's move.
