LONDON (Reuters) - The balance of risks facing the global economy are more negative than previously, given the global spread of the Delta variant of the COVID-19 pandemic and the reaction to the June Federal Reserve meeting, Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) said on Tuesday.

In its latest House View note, Deutsche Bank said that it believes inflation remains transitory but the risks are building "to the upside."

The bank said it expected COVID-19 to remain in focus because a global decline in cases since April has stalled and the more-infectious Delta variant has emerged.
