Crypto: daily gainers & losers
From the 50 largest crypto assets by trading volume, excluding illiquid micro-caps.
Gainers
The crypto market's daily mean was +7.5 %. Leading the pack was ONE at +80.0 %, with LSK trailing at -7.3 %. 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
All series: commodities and precious metals.
Precious metals averaged +0.5 %, energy and industrial commodities -0.2 %. 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.

Foreign exchange (Forex)
All currency pairs are listed in the forex overview.
The key pair EUR/USD moved +0.03 %: the euro gained on the US dollar, so the dollar was relatively weaker. 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
Between 10 September 2026 and today, 4 auction records were captured. Real assets have no continuous quote; a price only comes into being with the hammer.
| Asset class | Records | Median | Highest hammer price | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic cars | 4 | $125,000 | Porsche 911 Turbo (964) · 1991–1994 15 Sep 2026 | $480,964 |
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. The price index below avoids exactly this composition effect. 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 10 days back (7 September 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 96 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 577.7, +215.0 % against a year ago (base 100 at the first quarter covered, as of 7 September 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 +2.3 %, a quarterly figure rather than 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, 108 days before this report. The gap 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 moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.54. 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 because they smooth out volatility.
| Pair | r (90d) | −1 … +1 |
|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 ↔ Bitcoin | +0.36 | |
| S&P 500 ↔ Gold | +0.42 | |
| Gold ↔ Crude oil (WTI) | -0.24 | |
| EUR/USD ↔ Gold | +0.54 |
Summary
On balance, September 17, 2026 was a day of clear risk-on appetite across the markets Alysly tracks: 82 of 95 assets gained. The headline came from NEAR at +20.1 %. Across asset classes, crypto led (+7.5 %) while commodities lagged (-0.2 %). The correlation between EUR/USD and Gold stood at +0.54, 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 (964) · 1991–1994 at $480,964, a price struck at a single table rather than on an exchange. A single trading day is only a small slice, though: over longer periods, asset classes, regions and holding period shape a portfolio's result more than any one day's move.
