Foreign exchange (Forex)

The key pair EUR/USD moved -0.19 % – 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 4 August 2026, 41 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.

New hammer prices per asset class
Asset class	Records	Median	Highest hammer price	Price
Trading cards	41	$4,200	Crystal Charizard #146 — Skyridge (2003) 10 Aug 2026	$102,000

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 classic cars in this window – the most recent recorded sale is 8 days back (3 August 2026). With few, high-priced items such gaps are the norm, not a data outage. No lot changed hands in watches in this window – the most recent recorded sale is 59 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 538.1, +251.9 % against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of 10 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 -2.0 % – 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 May 2026 – 102 days before this report, which reflects the publication lag of the sources rather than missing data.

Residential property indices
Series	Level	Prior print	1 year
United States (Case-Shiller) 1 May 2026	335.1	+0.6 %	+1.1 %
Germany 31 Mar 2026	153.4	+0.3 %	+1.4 %
Euro area 31 Mar 2026	157.4	+0.9 %	+4.6 %

Data note 1

Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, EUR/USD and Gold were strongly positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.62. 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

In summary, August 11, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 37 of 79 assets closed higher. The headline came from Heizöl at +7.4 %. Across asset classes, commodities led (+4.6 %) while crypto lagged (-1.0 %). The correlation between EUR/USD and Gold was strongly positively correlated (+0.62) – 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 $102,000 – 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.
