An in-between tape: Energy up front, Technology at the back.

An hour into the session, SPY sat at 765.87, -0.26% on the day. Five sessions running it's +0.67%. VIX 15.6, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.

4 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Energy (XLE) led at +1.35%; Technology (XLK) brought up the rear at -0.95%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.

59% 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 — 21 sessions and counting.

Elsewhere: oil $94.57 (+2.62%), gold $4,299 (-0.45%). Worth a line each, no more.

On the congressional side of the ledger: 11 buys and 8 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.
