US Bond Market 'Bluff' Exposed, Israeli Bonds Next, Analyst Claims

An analyst claims that the perceived value of U.S. bonds is a 'bluff' that has now been exposed, and predicts a similar revelation for Israeli bonds is imminent. This assertion is presented within a broader context of market news, including the dollar weakening against the shekel to NIS 3.02 after a previous rise, and Asian markets showing gains, with Seoul up 1.5% and the dollar weakening against the yen by over 0.5%.

The article also touches upon the significant down payment required for a NIS 2.6 million apartment, a financial dispute involving Mekorot that threatens infrastructure development in Israel, and information for parents regarding autism in 2025. Investment opportunities in Poland are discussed, alongside a guide for Israeli investors on the S&P 500 index and an explanation of how a bank index ETF functions.

Further market-related items include a mention of six record highs for the dollar-shekel exchange rate in the past 30 years. Separately, a rare apartment opposite the Western Wall is listed for NIS 50 million, with the 91-year-old owner deciding to sell. The article also notes a lawsuit by 38 apartment buyers in Netanya who claim they were promised they wouldn't need to complete their purchase, and a critical view of certain academic units, stating they are a 'waste of time' and offer no learning.

Additionally, the piece highlights the impact of a blocked popular app on Israelis, with 99% of the population using it, leading to 'ruined lives' when it was inaccessible. It also mentions an investigation into a Haredi businessman and a president suspected of receiving millions from him, linked to guests of singer Omer Adam.
