    Iran’s Economic Warfare

    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?  In this episode: 0:00 - Numbers of the Week 4:00 - The WYNDEX 8:20 - Big Short #1: Lebanon signals a shift on Hezbollah 11:30 - Big Short #2: Israel’s budget politics and coalition stability 14:00 - Long Play: Iran’s economic warfare and the global energy stakes 39:00 - Words of the Week Find us on: YouTube Instagram LinkedIn Yael on X Yonatan on X Write to us here New episodes drop on Wednesdays LEGAL DISCLAIMER This podcast offers general business and economic information and is not a comprehensive summary for investment decisions.

    From War Economy to Election Economy

    📈Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today: Market weakness overall impacted the WYNDEX as well. Shedding 1% on a pretty flat S&P and a 0.26% decline in NASDAQ.  🔎Our Long Play today looks at what happens to the economy as Israel emerges from the morass of war into the mess of an election year. With sights set on reelection, the policy makers in Jerusalem seem unwilling to stir the pot with dramatic-but-necessary reforms, opting instead for big headline-grabbing but fiscally irresponsible electioneering tactics. Yontatan and Yael unpack these developments and spotlight the winners and losers. They discuss how the current budget (or lack thereof), combined with reckless populist and a strong shekel, can increasingly burden Israel’s middle class and businesses. But on the bright side, getting a rideshare from the airport might become a lot easier soon.  Find us on: YouTube Instagram LinkedIn Michal on X Yonatan on X Write to us here A little bit of housekeeping: Michal is away for the month of January.
