📈Our WYNDEX update for today:

The WYNDEX bounced back 4.85% last week, beating both NASDAQ and S&P which were also in the green with a 3.20% and 3.93% rise, respectively. Notable stocks were Palo Alto Networks, which bounced back almost 4% alongside ZIM (+20%) and Lemonade (16%). The most interesting mover in this week’s WYNDEX was pharma giant TEVA with 11.07%. This was thanks to clinical approval of two biosimilar drugs the company can now bring to the market.

🔎Our Long Play today is an interview with Seth Siegel, a guest whose work has become essential reading for anyone trying to understand the future of water in the Middle East. Seth is a leading voice on water policy and innovation, and the author of several best-selling books, including Let There Be Water, the definitive account of how Israel became a global model for water management. He recently wrote an op-ed in the WSJ about Iran’s escalating water crisis and the role its hatred of Israel has played in bringing it to this moment. We talk to him about how water - perhaps more than any other resource - plays a critical role in the Middle East’s economic trajectory, and new innovations coming out of Israel.
