In the midst of escalating Middle East tensions and unexpected job gains in the U.S., global markets have experienced a mix of volatility and resilience. Despite these challenges, large-cap stocks in the U.S. managed to achieve their fourth consecutive weekly gain, reflecting a complex interplay between geopolitical events and domestic economic indicators. In such an environment, companies with strong growth potential and significant insider ownership can be particularly appealing, as high insider stakes often signal confidence from those closest to the business in its long-term prospects.
