Favor Japan and European manufacturing economies.
US equities are a crowded ~70% of global market cap, so excess returns require non-US exposure. Since America cannot reshore without help from Japan, Germany, and other manufacturing economies, he suggests moving US equity weight toward 50%, adding Japan around 15%, and sprinkling Germany, Poland, Hungary, and emerging markets, expecting at least inline returns with lower volatility.

Lower energy will revive German manufacturing.
If the decline in energy prices is sustained, Germany should see a bigger boost than recent PMI data suggests, because the energy shock’s negative impact has persisted longer than expected. A European manufacturing recovery is the main way to play lower energy, favoring German cyclicals and industrial equities.

German equities face a dual headwind of collapsed Chinese domestic demand and fierce export competition.
The second-order effect of China's bifurcated economy is highly toxic for European industrials. Because China cannot absorb its own production domestically and is restricted from the US market, it is dumping excess industrial capacity into Europe and emerging markets, which will crush the margins of German manufacturing and auto exporters.

Allen expressed confidence in the de-escalation pathway, noting the oil shock was never priced as sustained (6-month futures were far below spot). He said equity markets were only down 5-6% from highs, implying room to recover. Trump's incentives (midterms, gasoline prices, approval ratings) are geared toward de-escalation. A temporary oil shock (weeks, not months) has limited growth impact, allowing central banks to avoid aggressive hikes. Europe, as an energy importer, benefits disproportionately from lower oil. LONG European equities (epitomized by the energy-sensitive DAX) because the worst-case scenario (sustained war/energy shock) is receding, and the market had not priced in a deep downturn. The ceasefire breaks down within the two-week window, leading to renewed escalation.
