A red day — Industrials wore the worst of it.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 759.68, -0.56% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.41%. VIX 20.3, firming — protection is getting bid — somebody's nervous.
3 of the eleven sectors were green. Energy (XLE) led at +2.01%; Industrials (XLI) brought up the rear at -1.88%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
61% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line.
Elsewhere: oil $102.47 (+3.02%), gold $4,006 (-1.35%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 14 buys and 14 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.
