    📈Our WYNDEX update for today:

    NASDAQ, S&P and WYNDEX were all in the green, with our WYNDEX trailing roughly 0.55% behind both with 1.67, 1.6 and 1.07% for the WYNDEX.

    🎯Our Big Shorts for today:

    • Seven-year-old digital payment company Melio has been acquired by SMB giant XERO, a deal that was negotiated from the safe room during the Israel-Iran conflict.
    • Spain is asking for “immediate” suspension of the EU “Association Agreement” with Israel + to impose an arms embargo on Israel, but this is unlikely to happen because of lack of support from other key EU countries like Italy and Germany.

    🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with AI expert and longtime entrepreneur Yoav Shoham, all about what Israel’s role is–and could be–in the global AI arms race.

    📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday

    What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.
