📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today:

The WYNDEX fell 1.7%, lagging the S&P and NASDAQ, which rose on ceasefire optimism. The split is clear: defense and deep tech names climbed, while SaaS stocks dropped sharply. Wix fell over 20%, with Lemonade and Monday also down—signaling growing pressure from AI disruption.

🔎 Our Long Play today:

Israel’s shekel just hit its strongest level against the dollar this century. While a stronger currency lowers inflation and boosts purchasing power, it’s also squeezing exporters, raising labor costs, and adding pressure to an already fragile tech sector in Israel. What looks like strength comes with economic implications that are good, bad and ugly.
