A green day, and 3 of eleven sectors came along.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 738.48, +1.24% on the day. Five sessions running it's +0.05%. VIX 18.3, easing — protection is getting bid — somebody's nervous.
3 of the eleven sectors were green — more red than green under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +5.44%; Communication Services (XLC) brought up the rear at -3.59%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
63% 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 — 5 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $84.17 (-0.34%), gold $4,148 (+2.81%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: no fresh filings crossed the wire this past week. The archive doesn't mind the quiet — it's patient like that.

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. As always: observations, not advice. I point at things. The deciding is yours.
