Chair Of European Parliament Trade Committee Tells German Broadcaster NTV, "We Are Close To Agreement With China To Abolish Electric Vehicle Import Tariffs"

October was a strong month for the gaming industry, with eight of the top ten best-selling games in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games">U.S. being new releases</a>.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 topped the charts, contributing to a 10% year-over-year increase in U.S. video game spending, which reached $4.7 billion.
According to Circana&#8217;s monthly report (<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/october-2024-sales-charts-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-sparks-xbox-game-pass-subscription-surge">via</a> IGN), Black Ops 6 is already the third best-selling game of the year and saw sales 23% higher in its first two weeks than last year's Modern Warfare 3 over the same period. 
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42141838/elden-ring-creator-hidetaka-miyazaki-teases-various-new-projects-in-development"> Elden Ring Creator Hidetaka Miyazaki Teases &#8216;Various New Projects&#8217; In Development</a>
Mat Piscatella of Circana noted that 82% of the game's full dollar sales came from PlayStation 5, likely because Xbox players opted to access the game through Game Pass instead of purchasing it outright.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Game Pass And Subscription Growth</h3>
The availability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41662426/black-ops-6-shatters-records-call-of-dutys-biggest-launch-drives-60-sales-spike">Black Ops 6 on Game Pass</a> appears to have driven growth in video game subscription spending, which increased 16% year-over-year in October. 
This suggests that the game attracted new subscribers to Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) platform while maintaining strong sales elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dragon Ball And Silent Hill Stand Out</h3>
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero secured the second spot on October's sales charts and became the best-selling Dragon Ball game in the U.S. The game is also now the third best-selling title in Bandai Namco Holdings ADR&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCBDY#OTC">NCBDY</a>) history, following<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42068231/sony-in-talks-to-acquire-elden-ring-publisher-kadokawa-report"> Elden Ring </a>and Dark Souls 3.
The Silent Hill 2 remake came in third and is now the second best-selling game in the franchise, second only to the original Silent Hill 2.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sales Shifts from Discounts and Game Pass</h3>
The Final Fantasy I-VI Collection moved up from No. 90 in September to No. 19 in October, likely due to a significant price drop on Nintendo ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, Sifu climbed to No. 9 on Xbox's monthly active users chart after being added to Game Pass.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hardware And Accessories Performance</h3>
Hardware sales saw a 23% decline compared to last year. Nintendo Switch sales dropped 38%, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series sales were down 20% and 18%, respectively. The PlayStation 5 remains the top-selling console in both units and dollar sales, with Xbox Series consoles in second place.
In accessories, spending increased by 15%, with Sony Group Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) PlayStation Portal becoming the month's best-selling item.

Medtronic's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.76% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.18 million shares sold short, which is 0.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.93 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Medtronic has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Medtronic's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Medtronic's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into DuPont de Nemours's Recent Short Interest

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday. The company announced the deployment of its conversational AI agent, Amelia at Apivia Courtage, as part of the AEMA Group. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SOUN/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In a press release on Thursday, SoundHound AI reported that Amelia AI agents managed over 100,000 customer calls in 2024, reducing the volume of inbound queries handled by human employees at Apivia Courtage by nearly 20%. These calls were largely focused on medical expense reimbursements and insurance policy information. The deployment, which began in Jan. 2023, was designed to improve efficiency and allow customer service teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
The CEO of Apivia Courtage, Emmanuelle Nguyen, stated that integrating the AI system enhanced work quality for employees and improved workplace atmosphere. Michael Anderson, EVP of Enterprise at SoundHound AI, emphasized the benefits of automation in enabling contact center staff to manage more complex tasks.
&#8220;With AI agents managing routine customer questions, Apivia Courtage&#8217;s employees are now able to focus on more rewarding and valuable aspects of their work. We&#8217;re thrilled to support them in delivering thousands of high-quality interactions,&#8221; commented Anderson.

&#8220;Projects like this really show the incredible value AI and automation can deliver, not only to our customers but also to their customers,&#8221; said Anderson.

Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) has announced plans to introduce the first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42071163/blackrock-spot-bitcoin-etf-options-on-nasdaq-rack-up-9-figure-trading-volume-in-first-few-hours-seems-very-bullish-says-analyst">cash-settled index options</a> tied to Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) spot price.
What Happened: These new financial instruments are <a href="https://ir.cboe.com/news/news-details/2024/Cboe-to-Launch-the-First-Cash-Settled-Options-Product-Related-to-Spot-Bitcoin-Beginning-Monday-December-2/default.aspx">scheduled</a> for launch on Dec. 2 and will be based on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index, which tracks a selection of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/spot-bitcoin-etf">spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> listed in the United States.
The move is part of a broader trend of integrating cryptocurrency-related securities into traditional financial markets.
This announcement comes shortly after Nasdaq began listing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42058823/blackrocks-spot-bitcoin-etf-to-open-for-options-trading-heres-why-it-could-be-a-big-deal-for-bitcoin">spot Bitcoin ETF options</a> earlier this week, enabling U.S. investors to use derivatives to speculate on Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements or hedge their existing positions.
Cboe's initiative adds to the growing suite of crypto-related trading products available in the regulated U.S. market.
Historically, the majority of crypto derivatives trading, such as options and futures, has taken place on offshore platforms due to restrictive U.S. regulations.

Binance and Deribit, both headquartered outside the U.S., have been the dominant players in this space, offering leveraged trading to their users.
However, the increasing appetite for crypto derivatives in the U.S., coupled with President-elect Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">pro-crypto stance</a>, is driving U.S.-based marketplaces to expand their offerings.
Why It Matters: This shift has allowed institutional and retail investors to access new tools for managing risk and amplifying returns.
CME Group, which already offers Bitcoin futures, has reported a significant increase in open interest, reflecting heightened activity from institutional investors. 
This growth has begun to erode Binance's market share. 
Additionally, over-the-counter options trading has emerged as a popular strategy among U.S. institutions seeking to hedge their crypto positions or implement more complex trading strategies.

What Happened: Although Nvidia stock has dipped since its third-quarter results, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42119226/nvidia-analysts-see-stock-best-positioned-in-ai-not-worried-about-guidance-all-systems-go-for-blackwell-ramp">analysts remain unfazed</a>, pointing to surging demand for Blackwell chips.
During an appearance on Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown," Huang was asked about the problem many CEOs would love to have of demand being greater than supply.
"Hopper and Blackwell are two just magnificent computing systems," Huang <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6365013367112">said</a>.
Huang said demand is strong for data centers to get their hands on Blackwell chips.
"We're going to go from zero billion dollars of Blackwell to many billions of dollars of Blackwell. And so, it's going to be an incredible thing. But the demand is just incredible."
During the interview, Huang was asked about the large number of customers and big-name customers who have placed orders and the process for determining which customers get their Blackwell chips first.
"We try to be fair with everyone so that they can all get their AI infrastructure up and running. We also make sure that their infrastructure is ready. And so, between us and them, there's no sense shipping computers if the data center and the power and the readiness of the system is not there," Huang said.
Huang highlighted Alphabet, Dell and CoreWeave as companies who have expressed their optimism. "Everybody's really proud of the system they've stood up and we're all just racing to get there."
Huang said Nvidia does pricing "based on the value delivered."
"In a lot of ways, it's kind of like generating electricity in the last industrial revolution, and there are all this machinery, these large machinery called A.C. generators, and they produce electricity. We're now producing this miracle called artificial intelligence."

</ul>
What's Next: Huang said the company is "in good shape" and confident in its Blackwell production ramp.
"Our demand is greater than our supply. And so, we need to get more out," Huang said.
Huang said Nvidia is working with thousands of AI native companies and it's hard to have infrastructure available for all of them.
"We're working super hard to get there as fast as we can, which is the reason why we're ramping Blackwell so hard."
Nvidia's success comes largely in the United States, Huang added. The CEO sees an opportunity to continue to expand to other countries.
"Over time and very quickly, whether it's in the west or in the east, we're going to see just about every single country jumping onto this A.I. revolution, this age of A.I."
Huang brushed off concerns that AI will take over the world and take all the jobs.
"AI can do a lot of tasks, but they can't do 100% of our jobs. That's the big idea."
Huang said AI is going to revolutionize and transform jobs and it's important that people learn how to use AI.
"What is very likely is that AI will do 20, 30, 40% of 100% of the jobs in the world."
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 3% to $142.10 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $45.01 to $152.89. Nvidia stock is up 195% year-to-date, but has fallen 1% over the last month.

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.
