Japan's Sojitz, JOGMEC team up with Alcoa for gallium study in Australia
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese trading house Sojitz established a joint venture with Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) to study gallium production in Australia, Sojitz said on Monday. Gallium, a critical mineral, is used in semiconductors where demand continues to grow with the expansion of electric cars, mobile devices and other electronic items. The joint venture, Japan Australia Gallium Associates (JAGA), signed a joint development agreement with U.S. Alcoa to explore the feasibility of producing gallium at Alcoa's alumina refinery in Western Australia. The companies aim for final investment decision by the end of 2025, Sojitz said on Monday, and production in 2026 with gallium to be sold in Japan and in other countries.

Tankers Deliver Russian Crude to India Despite US, EU Pressure
At least four tankers discharged millions of barrels of Russian crude at Indian refineries at the weekend, a sign the closely scrutinized deliveries are continuing as normal, even as the US ramps up pressure on the South Asian country to stop purchases. Oil traders and shipping companies have been waiting for direction from New Delhi on whether supplies from Moscow will be allowed to continue after US President Donald Trump last week threatened punitive action to curb trade with Russia. Over the weekend, a senior aide accused India of effectively funding President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

Nintendo's Switch 2 is on pace to outsell the Switch, the best-selling console in its 136-year history
Sales of the Switch 2 are outpacing the original Switch. The company has sold 5.8 million units since launch and expects to hit the 15 million mark by the end of March. Software sales were strong as well. The original Switch is the best-selling console in the company's history, beating the Wii, NES and SNES. Demand for Nintendo's Switch 2 is not slowing down. The Kyoto-based company says it has sold 5.82 million units since the system went on sale in early June and demand continues to outpace supply in most locations. Nintendo says it's on track to sell 15 million units by the end of its fiscal year (in March of 2026). Should it achieve that goal, that will make the Switch 2 a faster seller than the original Switch, which went on to become Nintendo's best-selling console system. (The original took a full calendar year to hit the 15 million mark.) That led to a strong quarter for the company. Revenues more than doubled compared to a year ago, coming in at $3.8 billion. Profits topped $378 million. Officials say Nintendo is on track to early $12.6 billion this fiscal year. To make up for Switch 2 shortages, Nintendo plans to boost production – as many people who have ordered one have yet to receive theirs. It's not just game systems that are selling well. Switch 2 software sold 8.67 million units in the quarter, with Mario Kart World and the highly-rated Donkey Kong Bananza both leading the charge. The Switch 2 is backwards compatible with the original Switch, so software sales for that older system were even higher. Nintendo says it sold 24.4 million Switch games in the quarter – along with nearly 1 million of the older consoles. This story was originally featured on Sign in to access your portfolio
