The tape lifted, Healthcare out front.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 772.12, +0.74% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.80%. VIX 17.6, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
10 of the eleven sectors were green. Healthcare (XLV) led at +2.00%; Energy (XLE) brought up the rear at -1.02%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
59% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line.
Elsewhere: oil $97.31 (-6.13%), gold $4,158 (-0.05%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 24 buys and 35 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.
