Deutsche Bank is expected to announce its quarterly results at the end of this week, but some of its staff have spoiled the surprise. According to two people ‘with direct knowledge of the matter,’ Deutsche has lost a not inconsiderable $400m on equity derivatives trades gone wrong, equivalent to nearly half its second quarter equity sales and trading revenues.

Milwaukee is in the midst of an evolution that is pushing the city forward and creating opportunities for people to experience the city in new ways. The same can be said about the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra League's 44th Annual Symphony Style fashion show, which is in the midst of an evolution of its own. The event is in its fifth year at the Milwaukee Art Museum, after growing beyond its lunchtime format and longtime home at The Pfister.
