Please take 5 minutes to fill out What's Your Number's LISTENER SURVEY to help us level up the show. We'll catch you next week. 📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today: Despite recording between air-raid sirens and shelter runs, the WYNDEX had a strong week, rising 8.26% and outperforming both the NASDAQ and the S&P. Yonatan and Yael unpack the rebound in Israeli SaaS stocks like Wix and monday.com, the surge in defense tech names such as Elbit and Ignite amid wartime demand, and why Nova and Mobileye slipped alongside global sector trends. 🔎 Our Long Play today: Yael and Yonatan break down Iran’s emerging strategy of economic warfare. Instead of matching Israel and the U.S. militarily, Iran appears to be targeting global pressure points—oil and gas infrastructure, fertilizer supply chains, financial hubs, AI data centers, and the Strait of Hormuz—to drive up global costs and force political pressure. The question: can this strategy actually move markets and reshape the conflict?
