Market impact

Not enough price history to measure the market around this update. The nearest CSDB Skin Index observations are July 13, 2026 (22 days before) and August 17, 2026 (13 days after); a change is only shown when both sit within 7 days of the update.

Per-item daily price history runs continuously from September 11, 2026, so item-level moves are not available for this update.

Correlation, not causation: prices move for many reasons, and these figures show what the market did around the update, not why. The CSDB Skin Index is a fixed basket of the 100 most-traded skins — see the market dashboard and how it is built in our methodology.
