Nearly 30% of sales and trading staff are now working from the office full-time — a 12 percentage point jump from last month as Wall Street and the City's banks have unwound their pandemic home-working arrangements.

When 600 markets professionals were surveyed by Deutsche Bank analysts in October, 29% said they are now back in the office five days a week, making a fully desk-bound week the most common working pattern.
