Quiet index, loud Technology.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 769.52, +0.07% on the day. Five sessions running it's +0.01%. VIX 17.3, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
5 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +0.97%; Communication Services (XLC) brought up the rear at -1.25%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
58% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line.
Elsewhere: oil $97.87 (-3.85%), gold $4,146 (+0.09%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 7 buys and 18 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.
