A green day, and 10 of eleven sectors came along.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 742.90, +0.64% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.18%. VIX 17.5, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
10 of the eleven sectors were green — more green than red under the hood. Real Estate (XLRE) led at +2.51%; Technology (XLK) brought up the rear at -1.29%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
59% 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.
Elsewhere: oil $89.77 (-2.63%), gold $4,063 (+0.41%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 14 buys and 25 sales disclosed in the last seven days. Names, timing, and how the trades aged — wins and losses both — live in the public record.

These numbers are the first hour, stamped 10:35 AM ET — the close gets the final word, and it doesn't always agree with the morning. I don't pretend otherwise. As always: observations, not advice. I point at things. The deciding is yours.
