The selloff in global markets is largely hitting tech, AI and semiconductor stocks, many of which I believe were overvalued.
In uncertain times, investors seek defensive sectors. Oil & gas looks attractive to me - resilient demand, strong cash flows and solid profitability 💪💪
New Lowy Institute analysis: Argentina’s Sea Lion case may fail on jurisdiction. UNCLOS tribunals generally cannot decide Falklands sovereignty disputes. A significant hurdle for Argentina ahead of Nov 10–11 ITLOS hearings. Positive for $RKH & $NTPT
@KfirSapir הדיון נקבע ל10-11 לנובמבר והחלטה תוך 2-3 שבועות אחרי קרי בסביבת סוף נובמבר במקביל לדוחות Q3...
לדעתי ההסתברות שזה יגמר בלא כלום, גבוהה ��אד כפי שפרטתי בפוסט אחר לפני כמה ימים
Argentina is softening its proposed Falklands sanctions law following US pressure. Revised drafts narrow penalties to direct operators, suppliers and shareholders, exempt investors and offer ways to settle existing Sea Lion cases. A positive development for $RKH & $NVPT.

Halliburton's Q3 report and earnings call made no mention of #SeaLion, the Falklands or its withdrawal...
New contracts and growing business in Argentina, reinforce its rationale for withdrawal...
Reminder - Navitas said Halliburton role was non material and would be replaced.
#SeaLion: The UK PM raised the project directly with Trump noting impact US interests + US Deputy Secretary Landau addressed sanctions affecting US companies, during his Argentina visit.
Reported moves to soften Argentina's sanctions bill and delay parliamentary vote $NVTS, $RKH
My take: As the ITLOS process became clearer & US pressure on Argentina's sanctions grew, Israeli pension funds resumed heavy buying Monday (+3.7%). Corporations then stepped up selling Tuesday (-3.5%). Both sides traded heavily Wednesday. The next few days should be interesting.
#Navitas – TASE trading trend by investor type since Sep/4 (Argentina noise began).
Sharp reversal since October 16 - Israeli corporations switched from net buy to net sell, while pensions the opposite. Clear shift in investor positioning and growing volumes
