A green day, and 6 of eleven sectors came along.

An hour into the session, SPY sat at 768.91, +0.95% on the day. Five sessions running it's +1.08%. VIX 14.8, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.

6 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Communication Services (XLC) led at +2.48%; Energy (XLE) brought up the rear at -2.25%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.

60% 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 — 18 sessions and counting.

Elsewhere: oil $92.17 (-8.11%), gold $4,376 (-1.11%). Worth a line each, no more.

On the congressional side of the ledger: 12 buys and 11 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.
