Indices on the day
Of the 16 benchmark indices tracked, 0 closed higher – so the majority slipped. S&P 500 Informationstechnologie led the field at +0.00 %, while Russell 2000 trailed at -1.37 %. 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
-1.8 %. IOST at +120.6 %, with SOPH trailing at -28.5 %. 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 +1.8 %, energy and industrial commodities +2.3 %. Both groups advanced. Gold is a traditional hedge, while crude oil and copper act as growth barometers.
| Name | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 4460.7 | +0.49 % |
| Silver | 68.646 | +2.46 % |
| Platinum | 1919 | +3.55 % |
| Palladium | 1381 | +0.87 % |
| WTI crude | 96.05 | +3.25 % |
| Brent crude | 101.21 | +3.36 % |
| Gasoline | 3.2106 | -1.29 % |
| Heating oil | 4.801 | +5.11 % |
| Copper | 6.8885 | +0.95 % |
Foreign exchange (Forex)
The key pair EUR/USD moved +0.00 % – the pair was little changed. 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 |

| 1.16315 | +0.00 % | |
| 1.3545 | -0.01 % | |
| 153.539 | -0.03 % | |

Real assets: new hammer prices
Since 2 September 2026 the database has logged 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic cars | 3 | $88,430 | 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 12 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 88 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 – 100 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 +0.63. 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 | +0.36 | |
| S&P 500 ↔ Gold | +0.43 | |
| Gold ↔ Crude oil (WTI) | -0.24 | |
| EUR/USD ↔ Gold | +0.63 |
Summary
Taken together, September 9, 2026 was a day of noticeable risk aversion across the markets Alysly tracks: 21 of 91 assets closed higher. The headline came from Polkadot at -9.9 %. Across asset classes, commodities led (+2.3 %) while crypto lagged (-1.8 %). The correlation between EUR/USD and Gold was strongly positively correlated (+0.63) – 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.
