📈Our WYNDEX update for today:

The WYNDEX is back in the green for a second week in a row, up 3.29%, to be exact. That puts it ahead of both the S&P and NASDAQ (0.69 and 1.39%, respectively). Monday.com made a 9.09% jump back up after December 4th Guggenheim report with a Strong BUY ($250 target price). In the red is ZIM, which shed ~2% with a takeover bid by German Giant Hapag Lloyd competing with the Unger/management buyout offer which seems to lowball the market perception. Two cyber companies, Varonis and Sentinel One, were also down.

🎯Our Big Shorts for today:

  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Israel this week. The European leader met with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials, and also spoke about that temporary & partial arms embargo on Israel, which Germany lifted last month once the ceasefire was in effect. We unpack the visit from this key partner.
  • Eurovision decision: A decision has been made to allow Israel to stay in the 2026 competition. But several countries (including Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands) subsequently said they would boycott the competition as a result. What does this mean for Israeli isolation vs. integration as we move forward, and beyond the Eurovision itself?

🔎And our Long Play today is focused on Israel’s 2026 budget, which was passed by the cabinet just a few days ago. We’ll go over what you need to know - what’s in, what’s out, what’s controversial, etc. And what the next steps are for the budget.
