Market barometer
Breadth = share of all tracked instruments (indices, liquid crypto, commodities, forex) with a positive daily change. Bars scale with the magnitude of each asset class's average daily return.
In focus: Sui
At -4.5 %, Sui was the day's most notable single move. The chart shows its trajectory over the selected range:
Indices on the day
Of the 16 benchmark indices tracked, 9 closed higher – so the majority advanced. DAX led the field at +1.07 %, while MSCI Emerging Markets trailed at -1.97 %. The “52W” column shows where each index sits within its yearly range – a marker far to the right means it is trading close to its 52-week high.
Crypto: daily gainers & losers
From the 50 largest crypto assets by trading volume – illiquid micro-caps excluded.
Gainers
-0.4 %. BEAMX at +11.9 %, with WLD trailing at -8.9 %. 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.
| Name | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 4070.8 | +0.51 % |
| Silver | 58.906 | +1.47 % |
| Platinum | 1604.1 | -0.29 % |
| Palladium | 1253.6 | -0.69 % |
| WTI crude | 89.31 | -3.12 % |
| Brent crude | 96.78 | -3.88 % |
| Gasoline | 3.2516 | -2.18 % |
| Heating oil | 4.0954 | -3.34 % |
| Copper | 6.3575 | +0.22 % |
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.
| Pair | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1394 | -0.06 % | |
| 1.3325 | +0.07 % | |
| 163.185 | +0.04 % | |

Real assets: new hammer prices
Since 17 July 2026 the database has logged 273 new auction records. Unlike stocks or crypto, real assets are not quoted continuously — every figure in this section is a price someone actually paid.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trading cards | 262 | $4,440 | Crystal Lugia #149 — Aquapolis (2003) 24 Aug 2026 | $132,000 |
| Classic cars | 11 | $156,559 | Porsche 911 Turbo (993) — 1995–1998 21 Jul 2026 | $350,000 |
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 — precisely the composition effect the price index below avoids. Prices are hammer prices including the buyer's premium.
No lot changed hands in watches in this window – the most recent recorded sale is 41 days back (13 June 2026). With few, high-priced items such gaps are the norm, not a data outage.
The trading-card price index stands at 537.6, +191.2 % against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of 28 August 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 -2.4 % – a quarterly figure, not 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 – 53 days before this report, which reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data.
| Series | Level | Prior print | 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States (Case-Shiller) 1 Jun 2026 | 336.7 | +0.4 % | +1.7 % |
| Germany 31 Mar 2026 | 153.4 | +0.3 % | +1.4 % |
| Euro area 31 Mar 2026 | 157.4 | +0.9 % | +4.6 % |
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.
| Pair | r (90d) | −1 … +1 |
|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 ↔ Bitcoin | +0.46 | |
| S&P 500 ↔ Gold | +0.47 | |
| Gold ↔ Crude oil (WTI) | -0.29 | |
| EUR/USD ↔ Gold | +0.28 |
Summary
Taken together, July 24, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 41 of 95 assets closed higher. The headline came from Sui at -4.5 %. Across asset classes, precious metals led (+0.2 %) 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. Away from the capital markets, the top hammer price was Porsche 911 Turbo (993) — 1995–1998 at $350,000 – a price struck at a single table rather than on an exchange. 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.
