The tape lifted, Technology out front.

An hour into the session, SPY sat at 771.79, +1.03% on the day. Five sessions running it's +0.04%. VIX 15.5, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.

10 of the eleven sectors were green — more green than red under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +1.65%; Energy (XLE) brought up the rear at -0.65%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.

52% 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.

Elsewhere: oil $88.32 (-4.90%), gold $4,220 (+0.43%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.

On the congressional side of the ledger: 7 buys and 69 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.
