<h2>Top S&P 500 Movers on Friday</h2>
<p>25 minutes ago</p>
<strong><u>Gainers</u></strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Gilead Sciences</strong> (GILD) experienced the highest increase in the S&P 500 on Friday, soaring 8.3% following the biopharmaceutical company's announcement of better-than-expected revenue and adjusted earnings for the second quarter. A surge in sales for Descovy, Gilead's HIV treatment used as pre-exposure prophylaxis, contributed significantly to revenue growth.</li>
<li><strong>Gen Digital</strong> (GEN), a cybersecurity firm, exceeded quarterly expectations for both sales and profit, while also elevating its full-year forecasts. The company saw an increase in demand for its AI-powered security solutions in response to a rise in AI-related scams, resulting in a share jump of 7.7%.</li>
<li><strong>Monster Beverage</strong> (MNST) surpassed analysts' expectations on both revenue and earnings, leading to a 6.4% increase in its stock. Analysts attributed this rise to the expanding energy drink market and innovations in sugar-free offerings.</li>
<li><strong>Apple</strong> (AAPL) shares rose over 4%, marking the third consecutive day of gains after CEO Tim Cook announced a $100 billion investment in U.S. production alongside President Trump, who indicated that Apple would be exempt from new chip tariffs.</li>
</ul>
<strong><u>Losers</u></strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Trade Desk</strong> (TTD) saw a dramatic drop of 38.6%, the steepest decline in the S&P 500 on Friday. Although the company reported an 18.7% year-over-year revenue growth, it fell short of earnings expectations and attributed the decline to clients limiting ad spending due to tariff concerns.</li>
<li><strong>GoDaddy</strong> (GDDY) announced better-than-expected second-quarter results but dropped 11.3% after revealing plans to discontinue its services for the .CO domain by late 2025, which could impact future revenues.</li>
<li><strong>Warner Bros Discovery</strong> (WBD) stock closed down 8% after releasing quarterly results revealing robust growth in its studio division but a decline in revenue from global linear networks, highlighting challenges in the TV sector.</li>

<h2>Tariff Uncertainty Creates Gold Market Volatility</h2>
<p>1 hr 12 minutes ago</p>
<p>The gold market faced significant fluctuations due to on-again-off-again tariffs imposed on Swiss bullion. Reports indicated that the U.S. has placed duties on gold bars from Switzerland, as indicated by a letter from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection dated July 31.</p>
<p>Gold futures in New York reached record prices, briefly crossing $3,500 per troy ounce. While futures prices typically trade at a premium over spot prices, gains were capped at around $3,450 following a Bloomberg report suggesting that the Trump administration may soon clarify that no duties would be imposed on Swiss gold bars.</p>
<p>Gold mining stocks, including Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) and Royal Gold (RGLD), also saw gains, outperforming broader market trends.</p>
