📈Our WYNDEX update for today:

WYNDEX is beating S&P and NASDAQ, again. Our index is in the green for a few good weeks now - gaining 1.84% last week, 0.5% above the S&P and +0.3% above the NASDAQ Composite. Also, we can now officially welcome Via to the WYNDEX, opening in the green with a great IPO, pricing the share at $46 and closing at $49. In the red, the two dominant ones were MobilEye (7.41%) and SolarEdge (15.83%).

🎯Our Big Shorts for today:

• A new report shows a notable decrease in first-time investments and new fundraisings among Israeli VCs in the first half of 2025: The study, conducted by IVC, a data & research firm, law firm Gornitzky, and the accounting firm KPMG, said that in the first half of 2025, Israeli funds raised $260m, compared to $1.2b in 2024 and $2.2b in 2023.
• The attack in Qatar’s impact on the Abraham Accords: Five years into these historic agreements, which established diplomatic and economic relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors in the Gulf, Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar is creating some new tensions.  

🔎And our Long Play today is a conversation about Israel-India relations, and the role the world’s most populous country can play especially now, at a time of increasing isolation for Israel. Co-host Yonatan Adiri shares insights from his recent time on the ground in New Delhi, analyzing the unique relationship between the two countries, their recently signed investment pact, and what an even deeper, future partnership could look like. 

📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday
