Treasurist Fund Port Pro has adjusted its investment plan for the week of August 3 to 7, 2026, raising energy sector stocks to the maximum recommended allocation after crude oil prices moved higher and showed a clear recovery. It also recommends rotating out of global tech stocks entirely, especially the AI group, which are long-duration equities sensitive to high interest rates. Meanwhile, the US FOMC held rates steady as expected, but the vote was split 9 to 3, with the minority favoring a rate hike to control inflation amid still-elevated oil prices. The 10-year US Treasury yield breached 4.7 percent, and the US Dollar Index weakened below the 100 level, causing the Japanese yen to strengthen more than 3.4 percent against the Thai baht over two trading days. The baht closed at 33.4 per US dollar, though the medium-term trend remains biased toward depreciation. For US, European, Indian, and Thai equities, the recommendation remains to hold at full allocation, while Chinese, Hong Kong, and Japanese stocks should be held at only half allocation. The fund advises exiting South Korean, Vietnamese, and Latin American equities entirely.
