Healthcare led, Real Estate lagged, and the index split the difference.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 770.79, +0.15% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.28%. VIX 17.3, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
4 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Healthcare (XLV) led at +0.55%; Real Estate (XLRE) brought up the rear at -1.12%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
63% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line.
Elsewhere: oil $102.27 (+2.37%), gold $4,061 (-0.33%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
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. None of this is advice. I read the public tape out loud; what you do with it is your own business.
