What's Your Number?

From War Economy to Election Economy

Episode Notes

📈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.
