The crypto market's daily mean was +1.1 %. Leading the pack was EUL at +31.5 %, with DEXE trailing at -18.9 %. Crypto remains the most volatile asset class covered here – daily swings of this magnitude are normal and say little about the long-term trend.

Commodities & precious metals

Precious metals averaged +0.2 %, energy and industrial commodities -2.5 %. That is the classic pattern of a more defensive phase: metals bid, cyclical commodities softer. Gold is a traditional hedge, while crude oil and copper act as growth barometers.

Foreign exchange (Forex)

The key pair EUR/USD moved -0.06 % – 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.

EUR/USD	1.1394	-0.06 %
GBP/USD	1.3325	+0.07 %
USD/JPY	0.006128	-0.04 %
AUD/USD	0.69765	+0.24 %
USD/CAD	0.711	-0.15 %
USD/CHF	1.22895	-0.16 %

Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, S&P 500 and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.47. 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 – they smooth out volatility.

Summary

On balance, July 26, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 39 of 78 assets closed higher. The headline came from PEPE at +9.8 %. Across asset classes, crypto led (+1.1 %) while commodities lagged (-2.5 %). The correlation between S&P 500 and Gold was moderately correlated (+0.47) – a gauge of how much diversification benefit combining the two currently offers. For long-term investors, though, single trading days are noise: what matters is broad diversification across asset classes, regions and time – not any one day's move.
