Early Eurodollar/SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup, Call Buying Emerges

US TSYS
Aside from ongoing two-way put positioning/consolidation, FI options seeing pick up in upside call buying (mostly Tsy and SOFR options targeting Nov-Dec expirys) as short end pricing in chance of 100bp hike next week cools (from just over 35% early Wed to under 25% at the moment). Prospect of "higher for longer" keeping pressure on underlying futures through mid-2023.
