As we head into the second half of 2021, the delta Covid-19 variant is causing consternation in markets, with recent flair-ups in Asia and here at home a stark reminder that we are not out of the pandemic woods just yet.

And in company news, Jeff Bezos is feeling post-Prime Day nostalgia. Amazon's founder has officially stepped down as CEO after 27 years at the helm.
