Cash 25%Treasuries 22%Equities 33%Commodities 20%'s quality/dividend-growth cohort is holding up relatively well (1M -2.1% vs S&P flat and Russell/Nasdaq-adjacent growth down more), while fear&greed at 38 and elevated financial stress (+0.38 4w) argue for leaning toward stable compounders rather than cyclicals. Treasuries trimmed modestly given the -4.3% 1M drawdown and rising fed funds/yields ( +8.15% 1M) eroding bond-sleeve value despite the curve steepening. Commodities trimmed slightly as softening soft-commodity prices (sugar -22%, cattle -10%) offset energy spikes (gasoline/diesel), leaving a mixed, non-trending picture. Cash held flat as a stable anchor amid rising macro uncertainty ahead of next week's CPI print.
