$NIO Inc(NIO.US$ saw a financial giant take a bearish position on the stock after the European Union announced it's imposing provisional duties on Chinese electric vehicle makers.
Less than a minute after the market opened Friday, a block trade was posted for put optionsgiving the holder the right to sell a total of 104,000 Nio's American depositary shares at $25 by Jan. 17, 2025. The buyer paid a premium of $2.11 million for the trade that was executed at a price of $20.35, closer to the bid price.
The block trade of 1,040 put options represented the total volume for that contract, data compiled by moomoo showed. That's more than 16 times the open interest.
Nio, which faces a 20.8% preliminary tariffs on its EVs, may raise the price of its cars sold in Europe as a result, Reuters reported.
