Why did the TA-35 rise before Israel’s vote?

The rally came ahead of a closely contested national election. Reuters said investors see further upside if an opposition victory eases political and regional risk, while an inconclusive result could extend coalition negotiations.

Elbit Systems gained 5.2 percent after announcing a new contract with an Asia-Pacific country. Globes said only Strauss Group and Teva declined among TA-35 members.
