A red day — Industrials wore the worst of it.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 774.41, -0.61% on the day. Five sessions running it's +1.52%. VIX 15.7, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.
2 of the eleven sectors were green — more red than green under the hood. Healthcare (XLV) led at +1.19%; Industrials (XLI) brought up the rear at -2.07%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
53% 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 — 4 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $89.90 (+0.51%), gold $4,124 (-1.51%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 10 buys and 6 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.
