Different type of vaccine being developed at Scottish factory of a French company - an “inactivated whole virus” - UK task force secured 60m dose preorder in July for €470m with options for 130m more 2022-25, invested in factory. EU finalised first order of 30m this month.
It\u2019s brilliant that @ValnevaSE is starting the large-scale manufacture of its potential vaccine, creating 100 high-skilled jobs at their Livingston facility.

Not sure EU approach clocks intimate involvement/ risk taken by UK Govt here...

A 🧵on the basics of block and bulk deals.
Block and bulk deals are large purchases of stocks by investment banks, mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, FIIs, and promoters. Tracking block and bulk deals can help give you a sense of what these large players are thinking.
A single transaction where shares more than Rs 10 crores or the number of shares traded are more than 5 lakh is considered a block deal.
Block deals are carried out in separate trading windows. This trading window operates in two shifts of 15 minutes each:
Morning trading window from 8:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Afternoon trading window from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM
Block deals happen in different windows to reduce volatility and sudden price movements. Given that they are traded in a separate window, they do not show up on the volume charts.
Brokers facilitating the transaction are required to inform the exchange. You can track bulk and block deals on NSE & BSE:

Inflation is coming, inflation is coming!
Last month I wrote about the distinction between long-term secular inflation and shorter-term cyclical inflation
It has been clear for several months that we are in the middle of a cyclical rise in
The full thread can be reviewed here:
Today's PPI report should have been expected to surprise to the upside as the leading indicators of inflation have been screaming to the upside for months!
Here is the ISM prices paid index, cumulated into a growth rate

Industrial commodity prices have also seen a major acceleration for months.

So today's PPI report was in line with the leads, suggesting that we have a cyclical upturn in inflation that is * primarily concentrated in the manufacturing sector *
This is a key point.

Now, in the short-term, the manufacturing sector is red hot, driven by a pent-up demand rebound in goods consumption.

Commodity prices are screaming which gives legs to "goods" inflation in the short-term.
