-0.9 %, moving against equities. DASH at +31.9 %, with HEMI trailing at -13.1 %. 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 -1.4 %, energy and industrial commodities +0.5 %. 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.

Gold	4476.6	-1.39 %
Silver	66.748	-1.41 %

Foreign exchange (Forex)

The key pair EUR/USD moved -0.21 % – 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.

GBP/USD	1.3514	-0.18 %

Real assets: new hammer prices

Since 28 August 2026 the database has logged 2 new auction records. Unlike stocks or crypto, real assets are not quoted continuously — every figure in this section is a price someone actually paid.

New hammer prices per asset class
Asset class	Records	Median	Highest hammer price	Price
Classic cars	2	$106,750	Porsche 911 Turbo (997) — 2007–2012 4 Sep 2026	$139,000

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 trading cards in this window – the most recent recorded sale is 7 days back (28 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 83 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 – 95 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 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 %

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.

Cross-asset correlations

S&P 500 ↔ Gold	+0.43
Gold ↔ Crude oil (WTI)	-0.24
EUR/USD ↔ Gold	+0.62

Summary

Taken together, September 4, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 29 of 94 assets closed higher. The headline came from NEAR at +11.1 %. Across asset classes, commodities led (+0.5 %) while precious metals lagged (-1.4 %). 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 Porsche 911 Turbo (997) — 2007–2012 at $139,000 – 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.
