Nintendo Switch 2 Thieves Nab Over 2,800 Systems
Nintendo (NTDOF) was the target of a heist that resulted in 2,810 Switch 2 units being stolen from a transport truck. The theft saw the video game consoles removed from a transport truck that was on its way to a GameStop (GME) location, likely a distribution center, in Texas. The theft was reported after the driver realized the consoles were missing at a pre-inspection truck stop. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter According to local authorities, each of the Switch 2 units that were stolen was worth $500. That means these weren't just normal Switch 2 units, which are priced at $450 each, but rather the versions that come bundled with a digital copy of Mario Kart World. With 2,810 Switch 2 units valued at $500 each stolen in the heist, the thieves walked away with $1,405,000 worth of merchandise. Considering the strong demand for the Switch 2, this will leave some fans disappointed as GameStop's Switch 2 supply in Texas is affected. It also means the thieves will likely be able to easily fence the stolen goods, and probably for much more than their MSRP. Switch 2 Sales Even with this theft, Nintendo still saw plenty of Switch 2 sales after the console's launch earlier this month. The company sold 3.5 million of the units in four days, setting new records. It also expects to sell 15 million units in the first year, with plans to produce up to 20 million units to meet increased demand. Is NTDOF Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Nintendo is Moderate Buy, based on eight Buy, two Hold, and a single Sell rating over the past three months. With that comes an average NTDOF stock price target of $92.21, representing a potential 1.22% upside for the shares.

Currency Traders Are Ditching Dollar for Euro on Options Bets
(Bloomberg) -- The euro is taking on a bigger role in the global currency options market as traders skirt around the dollar given the risks from unpredictable US policy and a global trade war. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown There's been a shift in trading volumes. Around 15% to 30% of contracts tied to the dollar versus major currencies were switched to the euro, looking at data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation for the first five months of this year versus the final five months of 2024. There are also signs the euro is being used as a haven — traditionally the dollar's role — and for bets on big moves. While deals involving the dollar still dominate in the $7.5 trillion-a-day currency market, this could be early evidence that the greenback is facing greater competition as the world's reserve currency. Traders are sidestepping the dollar after its biggest slump in years, with Europe's common currency looking like a key beneficiary as the region's markets benefit from billions in government stimulus spending. 'If we're moving to an environment in which the European flow story is more important, then we could be moving to an environment in which it's euro pairs which are driving everything,' said Oliver Brennan, options strategist at BNP Paribas SA. So far this year, Europe's common currency has rallied 11% against the dollar, hitting its highest since 2021 at above $1.16. Meanwhile the dollar has slid against every major currency, with a gauge down over 7% to its lowest since 2022. That's undermining trust in US assets. And the slump may not be over yet. Hedge fund heavyweight Paul Tudor Jones just predicted another 10% drop for the dollar over the next year. Risk reversals, a gauge of options sentiment, are becoming increasingly negative on the dollar against the yen, whereas they are turning less bearish on euro-yen — a 'really important signal' on the euro for Brennan. As markets question the dollar's stability, implied volatility in the euro against the yen is looking the calmest in nearly four years relative to swings between the greenback and Japanese currency. 'The market is thinking that dollar-yen will be more volatile than euro-yen in a negative market shock, which is the opposite to how the market has traded these events in the past,' said Brennan. 'If that's the thinking, then it means the market sees the euro as more of a safe haven than the dollar.' The cost of options is also a driver, said Ben Ford, currency strategist at Macro Hive. While implied volatility generally has eased after spiking in April's market chaos, it stands at nearly 11% over three months for dollar-yen, compared with under 9% for euro-yen. 'The market is finding cheaper ways to express its view, especially given the view is probably for euro outperformance,' Ford said. Traders also seem to be favoring the euro over the dollar when it comes to hedging or betting on big directional moves on the yen. That's evident in so-called 10-delta fly spreads, a gauge of demand for outsized swings, where the gap between euro-yen and dollar-yen has been steadily widening since April. Of course, the dollar has been written off many times before. Just at the start of this year, the euro was languishing near parity with the greenback, with many investors certain the common currency's value would fall below its US peer. Instead Trump's April's tariff announcements saw investors dump dollar assets. While US stocks have recovered since then, the dollar risk premium remains elevated, and it may require a return to US exceptionalism to reverse the trend, according to Tanvir Sandhu, chief global derivatives strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. Meanwhile the European Central Bank's President Christine Lagarde has called on policymakers to seize the moment and increase the euro's global profile. 'There's a push and a pull — the pull has been that there's potentially more safe assets to buy in Europe and more growth expectations in Europe,' said BNP's Brennan. 'And the push has been tariff uncertainty, risks to US exceptionalism, and the macro story.'
