Across liquid coins, crypto came in at +7.2 %. Out in front was FORM at +36.8 %, with XTZ trailing at -2.9 %. Crypto remains the most volatile asset class covered here. Daily swings of this magnitude are normal and say little about the long-term trend.

All series: commodities and precious metals.

Precious metals averaged -1.0 %, energy and industrial commodities -0.1 %. Both groups declined. Gold is a traditional hedge, while crude oil and copper act as growth barometers.

Real assets: new hammer prices

Since 14 September 2026, 2 new hammer prices were added. There is no daily close here: trading happens when a lot is called, and only then does a price exist.

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.

Nothing was sold at auction in trading cards in this window. The last sale on file is 7 days old (14 September 2026). Where trading is rare and expensive, gaps like this belong to the market rather than to a failed fetch. No hammer price was recorded in watches in this window. The latest record stems from 13 June 2026, so 100 days ago. In a thinly traded collectors' market such a pause is normal, not a missing update.

The trading-card price index stands at 587.7, +221.6 % against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of 14 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 +5.2 %, 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, 112 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

Overall, September 21, 2026 was a day of clear risk-on appetite across the markets Alysly tracks: 71 of 84 assets gained. The headline came from TAO at +22.1 %. Across asset classes, crypto led (+7.2 %) while precious metals lagged (-1.0 %). 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 Porsche 911 Turbo (964) · 1991–1994 at $480,964, 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.
