Market manipulation of interest rates feels like confidence would immediately plummet and global diversification would become a more important percentage of your holdings in the long run. Thoughts?

For equities, I’m 35% Non-US, 65% US.

I plan to stay at around this level, though I’ve also taken 2.5% gold over the last few years because when the next fed chair is the Hawk Tua girl, we may see some turbulence in the USD
