Cash 23%Treasuries 22%Equities 33%Commodities 22%'s low-vol/high-yield screen looks attractive here: it's outperforming both and broad equities on 1D/1W despite a soft 1M, and fear/greed at 38 plus 3% pop favors steady dividend payers over growth-sensitive names. Fed funds rising, financial stress and conditions both tightening, and 's -4.3% 1M reflect yields still pushing up, so I'm trimming treasuries modestly rather than adding duration risk into a hiking-split Fed. Commodities trimmed slightly too given mixed agri/energy fire and inventory signals with no clear trend, keeping cash as ballast given macro event risk (CPI print in 6 days) and Dalio's point on eroding equity-bond cushion.
