Early SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS
Mixed overnight flow leaning towards low delta puts and put spds as well as a handful of iron condor structures in SOFR options. This after Monday's option trades leaned bullish, fading the post-jobs unwind of implied rate cuts (Dec FF appr 88bp last Wed to appr 42bp now). Ergo, looking for rate cuts to get priced back in. Markets won’t have long to see if that is the case with the next major data metric of CPI out Wednesday.
