A green day, and 4 of eleven sectors came along.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 764.38, +0.89% on the day. Five sessions running it's +3.17%. VIX 15.8, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
4 of the eleven sectors were green — more red than green under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +3.64%; Utilities (XLU) brought up the rear at -1.56%. 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 — 8 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $76.13 (-5.24%), gold $4,139 (+2.62%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 31 buys and 28 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 10:31 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.
