Virus

The country reported 99 infections yesterday, before another seven cases were announced in Wuhan and one more in Beijing later in the day.

The headline here is one that might border on being uncomfortable for risk assets as it could suggest that the risk of the delta variant spread is starting to have a broader impact across recovering economies all over the world.
