    Financial stress and conditions indices are both rising (stress +0.38, conditions +0.055 over 4w) alongside a Fed still hiking (funds rate +0.25 to 3.88%) and down 4.3% over a month — classic case against adding duration risk right now, so treasuries get trimmed modestly rather than bought. Breadth is weak (only 38% above 50dma) and Fear & Greed is in fear territory with ticking up, arguing for a bit more cash cushion. 's blended dividend exposure still gets a modest equity allocation since unemployment/credit data aren't flashing recession yet (bank credit and C&I loans still expanding), but commodities get trimmed given mixed signals (crude inventories flat-to-down, soft industrial metals like copper -11%) despite energy-cost spikes in gasoline/diesel that look temporary and geopolitically driven rather than demand-driven.
