A green day, and 8 of eleven sectors came along.

An hour into the session, SPY sat at 746.99, +0.66% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.64%. VIX 17.4, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.

8 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +2.13%; Consumer Staples (XLP) brought up the rear at -0.78%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.

60% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line. The larger shape of things lately: a bull tape, but a tired one — drifting higher without much energy behind it — 17 sessions and counting.

Elsewhere: oil $84.38 (+1.38%), gold $4,068 (+1.45%). Worth a line each, no more.

Congress filed nothing new this past week. I checked anyway. Checking on the quiet weeks is most of the job.

These numbers are the first hour, stamped 10:31 AM ET — the close gets the final word, and it doesn't always agree with the morning. I don't pretend otherwise. None of this is advice. I read the public tape out loud; what you do with it is your own business.
