After nine months of tortuous and at-times fractious negotiations, the UK and the EU have reached agreement on an
economic partnership agreement that will govern large swaths of bilateral trade worth more than £650bn. The deal
covers technical aspects of trade for key sectors, including autos, chemicals, pharmaceutical and professional services
as well as a governance mechanism to resolve disputes that may arise between the two sides. Let’s go through the deal
sector by sector:
Fishing rights
EU fishing fleets will have a five and a half-year transition period with guaranteed access to UK waters. After that, access
will depend on annual negotiations. During the transition, EU fishing rights in UK waters — currently worth about
€650m per year — will be reduced by one quarter, with British quotas increased by a corresponding amount. The shift
will boost UK boats’ current share of fishing rights in British waters from about a half to two-thirds. After the transition,
access to waters will depend on annual negotiations, such as those the EU already has with Norway. But the EU will have
some leverage: should the UK revoke access, it will be able to take compensatory measures, including hitting UK fish
exports with tariffs, and even shutting the UK out of its energy market.
Automobile industry
The car industry warned that the deal would introduce much more red tape and regulatory burden for the industry,
which trades almost 3m vehicles a year between the EU and the UK. Cross-Channel trade in automotive parts accounts
for almost €14bn. The UK has already conceded that the EU would not agree to take a more flexible approach when it
came to assessing whether UK cars manufactured with large amounts of non-UK components could qualify for zero-tariff
access to the bloc under a trade deal. As a result, some cars may incur tariffs on entering the EU.
Professional services
Professional services providers will lose their ability to automatically work in the EU after the deal failed to obtain pan-
EU mutual recognition of professional qualifications. This means that professions from doctors and vets to engineers
and architects must have their qualifications recognized in each EU member state where they want to work. There will,
however, be provisions for short-term business trips and temporary secondments of highly skilled employees.
Financial services
The deal does not cover financial services access to EU markets, which is still to be determined by a separate process
under which the bloc will either unilaterally grant “equivalence” to the UK and its regulated companies, or leave firms
to seek permissions from individual member states.
Chemicals
The chemicals industry is among the most exposed to costs of new trading arrangements, with products that enter a
large number of cross-border supply chains, from car paint to haircare products, food to pharmaceuticals.
Manufacturing
The UK manufacturing sector welcomed the fact tariffs had been avoided that risked wiping out profits in the sector but
warned that companies still faced border delays and the loss of mutual conformity assessment. This could mean lots of
certification and testing to meet both EU and UK standards and would add significant complexity and cost, for a sector
that operates on fine margins.
The deal does not envisage cooperation on the same level as before Brexit in many areas. Financial and business services,
the backbone of UK exports, are only included to a small extent .The same is true of cooperation on foreign policy,
security and defence, while provisions for transport, energy and civil nuclear cooperation will be below current level
Now, starting January 1, there will be a new trade border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, which means
that the former will still be under the EU’s single market and will follow EU’s customs rules.

A bottle of good wine can be a balm for the soul and lifter of spirits. For investors struggling to find a good source of
returns in a world of ultra-low interest rates, it can also be a compelling haven asset. Although it carries no yield, fine
wine does offer the potential for capital growth. It is not a tipple for the impatient, however. Like the finest Bordeaux
or Burgundy, the richer rewards go to those who let their wine investments age. The industry’s leading benchmark, the
Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 index, has barely budged of late, rising just 1.2 per cent for the year to the end of August.
Coronavirus, US tariffs on European wines and unrest in Hong Kong, the centre of the Asian wine trade, have put a cork
on gains. But underscoring the steady nature of the asset class, the Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 index, which charts the price
movements of 100 leading fine wines on the secondary market, fell only 1.1 per cent between February and March.
During this time, the S&P 500 plunged more than a third. Longer term, the index, which is denominated in sterling, has
also fared well, returning nearly 27 per cent over five years. That is better than the total returns on long-term UK gilts,
or the FTSE All-Share index, over that period. Even better, there are no UK capital gains tax on fine wine. The trends are
also looking up as the home wine consumption has soared during lockdown as people unwind with a glass of wine to
cope with the stress of Covid-19.
Flipkart has spun off its digital payment arm, PhonePe as a separate entity by partly divesting its stake in favour of its parent
company, Walmart. PhonePe raised primary capital of $700 million in the Walmart carried funding that accredits a valuation of
$5.5 billion to this five year old undertaking.
Post-funding, Flipkart yet continues to hold the largest share in
the company, with 87%. The E-commerce giant, Walmart will
hold a 10% share after this transaction. After this spin-off, they
intend on appointing a new board of directors to help in the
growth and launch of the custom equity incentive or ESOP,
program for its employees.
The company was founded in 2016 and now has over 250
million users that are registered on the platform and over 100
million active users monthly. In the month of October of 2020,
the company made transactions worth $1 billion. This funding
for PhonePe is to help fuel growth to compete with Alphabet’s
Google and Alibaba backed Paytm.
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED (Holding Period: 2 weeks) *As on 25/12/2020
By: Yash Dalal and Keshav Heda, PGDM 2nd Year
RIL stock has maintained the higher 1900 levels for the entirety of November and December, prior to which it saw a
correction of 300 points.
As highlighted in the chart, there is a bearish engulfing line candle stick that was formed on the 22 nd indicated a strong
bearish reversal sign in the week to come.
Straight after a “Three Outside Down” Bearish Reversal Candlestick is formed further indicating a downward trend for
the future.
20-day Exponential Moving Average as well Simple Moving Average are higher than the CMP, indicating a sell on the
stock.
However, RIL is approaching its minor support level of 1988.75, which could help the bulls gain power again. Therefore,
we do not recommend a strong sell for this stock but it is still a sell for the coming 2 weeks based on strong candlestick
indicators.
Yes Bank stock had reached its 6-month high of 20.83 in the 2nd week of December, after which there was a major
correction since it reached its major resistance level.
There was a formation of an Engulfing Line Bearish Reversal Candlestick indicating an upcoming downtrend for the
stock in the coming weeks, as highlighted in the chart above.
If the stock breaks minor support level 17.13 then we can expect it to fall further down to 16, which is our target.
MACD indicator shows a convergence which is a negative sign for the stock and indicates a sell signal.
50-day SMA as well as EMA is above the stock price indicating a sell on the stock for the short term.
