Indices on the day
Of the 16 benchmark indices tracked, 0 closed higher – so the majority slipped. MSCI Emerging Markets led the field at -0.37 %, while DAX trailed at -1.63 %. 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
Across liquid coins, crypto came in at +1.4 %, moving against equities. Out in front was SC at +52.8 %, with 0G trailing at -12.6 %. 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 -2.3 %, energy and industrial commodities +3.3 %. Cyclical commodities outran metals – often a sign of growth and demand optimism. Gold is a traditional hedge, while crude oil and copper act as growth barometers.

| Silver | 65.369 | -2.42 % |

Foreign exchange (Forex)
The key pair EUR/USD moved -0.22 % – 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 25 August 2026, 3 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.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trading cards | 2 | $17,700 | Blastoise #2 — Base Set 2 (2000) 28 Aug 2026 | $18,300 |
| Classic cars | 1 | $258,000 | Porsche 911 Turbo (930) — 1975–1989 26 Aug 2026 | $258,000 |
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 80 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 – 92 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, EUR/USD and Gold were strongly positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.61. 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 | +0.35 | |
| S&P 500 ↔ Gold | +0.43 | |
| Gold ↔ Crude oil (WTI) | -0.28 | |
| EUR/USD ↔ Gold | +0.61 |
Summary
In summary, September 1, 2026 was a day of noticeable risk aversion across the markets Alysly tracks: 29 of 95 assets closed higher. The headline came from Filecoin at +14.2 %. Across asset classes, commodities led (+3.3 %) while precious metals lagged (-2.3 %). The correlation between EUR/USD and Gold was strongly positively correlated (+0.61) – 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 (930) — 1975–1989 at $258,000 – 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.
