A green day, and 11 of eleven sectors came along.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 765.50, +1.02% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.99%. VIX 15.8, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
11 of the eleven sectors were green — more green than red under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +1.63%; Healthcare (XLV) brought up the rear at +0.02%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
66% 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 — 12 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $99.59 (-2.82%), gold $4,425 (+1.38%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 83 buys and 115 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.
