An in-between tape: Technology up front, Consumer Staples at the back.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 763.91, +0.06% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.40%. VIX 16.3, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.
3 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +0.60%; Consumer Staples (XLP) brought up the rear at -1.06%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
72% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line. The larger shape of things lately: a strong bull tape — dips keep getting bought — 3 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $82.45 (-3.01%), gold $4,676 (+0.77%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 22 buys and 19 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. As always: observations, not advice. I point at things. The deciding is yours.
