Long-term U.S. Treasury yields have risen significantly, with the 30-year yield above 5% and the 10-year near 4.6%, pressuring stock valuations. The recent Trump-Xi summit failed to resolve key geopolitical and inflation risks, leaving uncertainties in place. In response, the portfolio manager is reducing equity exposure from 100% to 75%, cutting high-beta tech stocks like semiconductors and memory, while increasing allocations to healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and select low-P/E consumer staples. This shift reflects caution amid rising interest rates and unresolved global risks.
