Western stock markets are closed on Sundays, but Israel's exchange is open and its ongoing rally is continuing as the market reaches a new high today.

Everyone has gone all meshuggah.
They should be digging shelters, not driving up stocks.
I don’t get it. Obamanation has given Iran permission to make Israel a radioactive hole in the ground, and ISRAELI stocks go up? Are these people crazy?
“The market is rising on momentum fueled by what’s happening in the world and low local interest rates,” Idan Azoulay, managing director at Tel Aviv-based Epsilon Investments, which manages the equivalent of about $2 billion, said by phone. “Iran is not a factor in trading today.”
Presuming the story is factual (a big if considering it’s from a commie source, Slate), it might be due to defense industry stocks rising. If Israel is building up its arsenal in reaction to a nuclear Iran, there’s a lot of money to be made by the savvy investor.
I imagine their defense industry is causing stocks to rally.
Yiippee!! Now we need a picture of my cousin BagdadBob telling us all is right with the world and Iran will not makes nukes. He double guarantees it.
That guy’s statement seems contradictory, doesn’t it? He says the market’s driven by “what’s happening in the world”, but “Iran is not a factor”. As if the Iran issue weren’t part of “what’s happening in the world”
And if the Israeli markets aren’t spooked by the Iran deal, by definition that means Israel’s financial gurus don’t buy Netanyahu’s alarmism.
Was thinking that same thing...defense industry stocks.
What!?!? Bibi Netanyahu is a man of God and a true Patriot. He's by no means an alarmist and here's the proof:
Absolutely right!
Nu, I should worry?? The Iranians say they want nukes for electricity only. Who am I to deny them?? And waiter, an extra shmear on my bagel.....
Unfortunately a massive war can be a significant stimulant to an economy.
Maybe they’re expecting “wartime boost.”
With what, maybe 4 nukes against Israel’s several hundred, Israel is probably mulling something like bettering its Iron Dome system, which would knock an Iranian nuke out of the sky. Kinetic anti missile missiles.
Now if Iran managed to smuggle one in on land or by water that would be a different story.
I say Jehovah is watching out for those Jews. God is not going to recall all those bibles to revise the story.
If you read the brief article, it’s obvious that this guy is a Democrat shill, whose purpose is the say that those evil Republicans who criticize Obama’s deal with Iran are wrong.
I just had a look at the chart for Israel’s stock market today, however, and I don’t see any signs of a notable rise. Sure, it’s up a little bit, 0.62%, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I’d say this is just a bit of leftist propaganda, not a real news item.
Gold in Peace. Iron in War.
Why are we moving towards a Mycenaen King?
(I know what you meant, just having some fun.)
