Morgan Wallen Matches Justin Bieber And Jay-Z
Morgan Wallen is the king of the Hot 100 this week — and not just because he sits at No. 1. The superstar and Tate McRae debut their collaboration "What I Want" in first place, and the country superstar sends dozens of tracks from his latest album, I'm the Problem, to the tally.
As a deluge of cuts from I'm the Problem reach the Hot 100, Wallen adds significantly to his career total of placements, passing an important milestone and tying with two of the most successful musicians of the past several decades.
All 29 new appearances on the Hot 100 are taken from I'm the Problem. As those two dozen-plus tracks arrive, the singer-songwriter increases his career total to 105 placements on the roster, according to Billboard.
With exactly 105 Hot 100 wins to his credit, Wallen is now tied with Justin Bieber and Jay-Z, who have also accrued just as many. Both of those artists had quite the head start and spent well over a decade accruing smashes before Wallen's career really took off. Neither has been particularly focused on music lately, so their sums haven't increased significantly in recent years.
Thanks to I'm the Problem, Wallen has now snagged four No. 1 hits. Two of them — "Love Somebody" and the brand new "What I Want" with McRae — opened in first place. He also reached the summit with his solo hit "Last Night" taken from his previous album One Thing at a Time, and "I Had Some Help," his collaboration with Post Malone.
In total, Wallen has landed 17 top 10 smashes, including nine from his latest full-length.
The record for the most Hot 100 hits is still owned by Drake, and it may always be. He is up to 358 placements on the tally, nearly 100 more than the runner-up, Taylor Swift, who claims 264. Also included in this exclusive club, which now features 21 artists, are names like Future, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and Eminem.

Gold futures in New York surge as tariff confusion sweeps precious metal market
Gold (GC=F) futures in New York hit intraday record highs on Friday amid reports that imports of Swiss gold bars would not be exempt from tariffs. The precious metal hit $4,490 per ounce on the Comex exchange after the Financial Times reported one-kilogram and 100-ounce bars of gold are indeed subject to 39% reciprocal tariffs on Switzerland recently announced by the Trump administration. "The move is significant because 1-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars form the backbone of much of the gold trading activity in the United States," Ryan McIntyre, senior managing partner at investment manager Sprott, told Yahoo Finance. McIntyre said contracts on the Comex exchange in New York are based on 100-ounce bars, noting "the introduction of tariffs will likely inject additional uncertainty into that market." The clarification from Customs and Border Patrol, also reported by Bloomberg, sent gold futures in New York skyrocketing as traders assessed the implications on transfers of the precious metals and how the futures market could be reshaped. "Likely imposing 39% tariffs on Swiss kilobars is akin to pouring sand into an otherwise well functioning engine," wrote Ross Norman, CEO of UK-based Metals Daily. Traders are still weighing whether the steep tariffs on Swiss kilo-bars reflect a real policy shift or a possible misclassification error. "On a broader scale, the gold market is highly liquid and global, meaning we would expect gold flows to adjust in ways that minimize disruptions," McIntyre said. Gold inventories in New York skyrocketed earlier this year as institutional investors shipped elevated amounts of physical bars to vaults in Manhattan ahead of tariff announcements. In late March inventories reached their highest level since the pandemic in 2021, according to Bloomberg data. Ines Ferre is a senior business reporter for Yahoo Finance.

The Street Loves This ‘Strong Buy' Pharma Stock
Indivior (INDV) is up 90% since April and has consistently hit new highs, driven by optimism for Sublocade. INDV stock set its latest 52-week high in morning trading on Aug. 8. Technical indicators are overwhelmingly bullish. Indivior has a 100% 'Buy' rating from Barchart. Despite the current momentum, INDV is volatile and speculative. I recommend strict risk management and stop-loss strategies for any potential investment. Today's Featured Stock Valued at $3.03 billion, Indivior (INDV) is a specialty pharmaceutical company. It is engaged in discovering and developing medications and treatment for alcohol addiction, opioid overdose, cocaine intoxication, and co-occurring conditions, such as schizophrenia. Its future seems to be based on analysts' love of Sublocade, which is an extended-release injection of buprenorphine used for the treatment of moderate to severe opioid use disorder. Sublocade works by steadily releasing buprenorphine into the bloodstream, helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Indivior I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it's hard to make money swimming against the tide. It looks like Wall Street analysts are bullish on INDV, and so is Morningstar. The Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart have issued 7 'Strong Buy' and 1 'Moderate Buy' opinion on the stock. Their price targets are between $20-$30 with a consensus of $25.83. Morningstar thinks the stock is undervalued by 23% with a fair value of $28.77. Only 958 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha, which rates the stock a 'Hold.' The Bottom Line on Indivior INDV currently has momentum and is hitting new highs. Analysts seem to think a turnaround may be in its future. I caution that INDV is volatile and even speculative in the current environment, which means investors should use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.
