An in-between tape: Technology up front, Energy at the back.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 766.91, +0.21% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.26%. VIX 17.8, 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%; Energy (XLE) brought up the rear at -1.31%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
64% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line.
Elsewhere: oil $101.06 (-0.69%), gold $4,050 (+0.28%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 12 buys and 7 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.
