Eurodollar/SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup: Put Unwinds

US TSYS
Session theme: long put positions unwinding as weak service sector PMI (47.0 vs. 52.7 est) sees forward rate hike guidance for Sep and Dec cool off, while 75bp still a lock (see 1022ET bullet re: STIR implied probabilities). Expect to see more put position unwinds or strike roll-ups if rally persists. Summer drag on participation: ironically, volume in upside calls still light, accts unwilling to add risk as yet during summer trade. Early roundup:
