The 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. Disquiet in Hong Kong is an occasion for yet more protests. Hot-desking is spreading through corporations like a rash. What do you see on the horizon for financial markets?

That marks a sharp contrast to the growing chaos in Hong Kong, where a protest spirit has sparked new art, and an impromptu anthem. And, we ask if hot-desking costs employees more than companies are saving.
