DB is looking at valuations on a type of derivative known as zero-coupon inflation swaps. The reason for the probe is that, as has been a recurring case with many of its peers of the last few years, the bank found valuations that "diverged from internal models" at which point it began questioning traders.

The push to finally open its books comes after CEO John Cryan's vow in February to try to resolve his institution's legal challenges swiftly. As Bloomberg sarcastically adds, "he is still working on it." The bank has been facing regulatory and enforcement pressure around the world, including a money-laundering investigation tied to its Russia operations, inquiries into mortgage-bond trading before and after the financial crisis and charges that the bank colluded to help falsify the accounts of Italy's Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
