A red day — Technology wore the worst of it.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 758.94, -0.70% on the day. Five sessions running it's -1.49%. VIX 17.5, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.
5 of the eleven sectors were green — more red than green under the hood. Consumer Staples (XLP) led at +1.22%; Technology (XLK) brought up the rear at -2.08%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
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 — 13 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $104.09 (+4.04%), gold $4,315 (-1.17%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 67 buys and 108 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.
