Cash 20%Treasuries 20%Equities 35%Commodities 25%is down 4.3% over the month as fed funds rose another 25bp and yields pushed higher—duration risk is working against the treasury sleeve right now, so I'm trimming it. 's call-overlay income looks more attractive with up and Fear&Greed at 38 (elevated option premiums, choppy tape, Dow/Russell flat-to-down on the month), so I'm adding to equities income rather than chasing the Nasdaq's AI-driven swings. Commodities get a modest bump given Iran strike headlines and the sharp gasoline/diesel spikes (+64%/+43% 30d) that point to real energy-supply risk feeding into , while cash is trimmed slightly to fund these shifts.
