Outside the crypto market, traditional finance (Tradfi) markets are also quietly unfolding their own stories. Latest data from Gate shows that from precious metals to foreign exchange and commodities, these traditional assets are exhibiting interesting correlation characteristics, which are worth paying close attention to for multi-asset allocators.

Gold and silver prices remain moderate, while crypto volatility indices show adjustments

The precious metals market remains stable, with gold prices rising to $5,077.20 per ounce intraday, up 0.35%; silver prices rebounded to $82.898 per ounce, up 0.16% intraday. In contrast, crypto volatility indices have experienced a noticeable pullback. The BVIX (Bitcoin Volatility Index) is currently at 55.26, down 6.58% intraday; the EVIX (Ethereum Volatility Index) is at 75.44, down 4.84% intraday. This contraction in volatility often indicates market sentiment stabilization and the emergence of trading opportunities.

Snapshot of major forex and commodity markets

In the forex market, the USD against offshore Chinese yuan (USD/CNH) declined 0.08% to 6.90862 intraday, and USD/JPY fell 0.89% to 154.407. The commodity markets show divergence: WTI crude oil slightly declined 0.07% to $64.42 per barrel, while Brent crude oil rose 0.40% to $69.66 per barrel. These indicators collectively reflect the complex dynamics of global asset flows at present.
