Does that mean risk-taking is back? Nope.
Big-time traders are back in the market during the day, but they're also avoiding what is called overnight risk.
Credit Suisse took a look at the percentage of the day's US stock trading volume that is in the MOC print, or market on close. This is a kind of order that is executed as close to the end of the market day as possible.
The average volume has increased from 8.4% to 9.8% in the last two years, according to the Swiss bank.
