Traders Banned From Watching World Series Amid Ohtani Craze
Compliance rules prevent Tokyo traders from watching Live
Second game had 15.9 million viewers in Japan on average
As an estimated 12% of Japan’s population tunes in to watch baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani’s first World Series, one group is missing out: traders in Tokyo who can’t view the games on their mobiles or on TV.
On the trading floor of Deutsche Bank AG in central Tokyo, the TVs are fixed on financial news channels, according to an employee at the German lender. Traders also can't access their mobile phones while they're in the dealing room, leaving them with almost no way to watch the baseball championship in real time.
