Who’s winning the economic war?

35 minutes

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

The WYNDEX fell 1.99% this week, underperforming both the S&P and NASDAQ in an otherwise quiet market. Yonatan and Yael break down the divergence across sectors: cyber holding steady while AI and SaaS names face pressure. Fiverr dropped over 7%, Via fell sharply and remains far below its IPO, and defense tech cooled after a major run—pointing to a market still sorting winners in the AI shift.

🔎 Our Long Play today:

Is Iran’s economic warfare actually working? One week later, markets suggest not—oil remains below $100 thanks to Saudi rerouting and global supply responses. But the real risk may still be ahead. From natural gas disruptions impacting AI infrastructure and chips to fertilizer supply and food systems, pressure points are building. With a 3–4 week window before strain escalates, they explore whether this conflict could still spill into global inflation and growth.
