📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today:

The WYNDEX rose 6.76% this week, beating the S&P and just trailing the NASDAQ. Nearly all names finished in the green, led by strong gains in fintech and tech. The move reflects a broader market rally driven by ceasefire momentum and a shift toward “peace optionality,” with capital rotating out of defense and into growth…for now.

🔎 Our Long Play today:

Iran faces a harsh reality: over 90% of its oil exports and critical imports move through Hormuz. With its economy already under strain, the very leverage it threatens to use may accelerate its own collapse. But the biggest question is who will “blink” first under the economic pressure – Iran or the U.S.?
