📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today:
The WYNDEX rose 8.69% this period, outperforming both the S&P and NASDAQ and returning to positive territory year-to-date. Yonatan and Yael break down a market rebound driven by ceasefire optimism. Satellite and space-related companies led the gains, while SaaS names like Wix and Lemonade declined, reflecting continued uncertainty around how AI will impact their growth.

🔎 Our Long Play today:
Did Iran’s use of the Strait of Hormuz actually work? In the short term, it appears so—disrupting global energy flows and helping force a ceasefire. But Yonatan argues it may eventually prove to be an empty and costly victory for Iran, accelerating global efforts to reduce dependence on Hormuz. From alternative pipelines and ports to increased U.S. energy production and a renewed push toward nuclear power, the world is already adapting—potentially weakening Iran’s leverage in the years ahead.

📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today:
The WYNDEX returned to the green, outperforming the S&P and NASDAQ by nearly 2% in a weaker market. Gains were led by Lemonade (+16%), Nova hitting new highs, and continued strength in defense names like Elbit. On the downside, losses were limited, with ICL down over 8% as markets weigh supply chain risk. Overall, investors are showing renewed confidence in Israeli tech resilience.

🔎 Our Long Play today:
Toppling the Islamic Republic will only be possible by inflicting real harm on the regime’s oppressive economy. Miad Maleki, the architect of the Trump administration’s sanctions strategy against Iran, joins Yonatan and Yael to unpack the state of Iran’s corrupt economy, and its domination by the IRGC. Can economic distress lead to revolution? And will Iran be able to pick up the pieces if the regime collapses?
