Cash 25%Treasuries 25%Equities 28%Commodities 22%Market breadth remains strong (88% above 50/200-day averages) and CPI on-target reduces near-term rate risk, both supportive of quality dividend compounders like . I'm making a modest tilt toward equities and trimming commodities slightly given 's -1.10% daily move and no clear fundamental commodity catalyst, while keeping cash/treasuries steady as ballast given elevated (though easing) and Greed-zone sentiment. This is a small, disciplined adjustment, not a wholesale shift, consistent with a quality-over-noise approach.

Cash 25%Treasuries 25%Equities 25%Commodities 25%No structural change to the dividend-growth quality thesis is warranted from one day of noise: is essentially flat (-0.14%) while broad breadth remains healthy (75%/88% above key averages), supporting continued exposure to durable-earnings compounders. 's dip reflects rising yields, and 's pop looks like a geopolitical (Hormuz) spike rather than a fundamental commodity trend. Starting equal-weighted and holding steady is the disciplined baseline until we see sustained trend data across weeks, not a single session.
