📈 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.
