EUROPE SUMMARY: Closing Out

OPTIONS

We saw a few 'closing positions' trades today. The largest was LZ0 100.125 calls bought for 0.25 in 100k. A desk said this appears to be short cover from the 100.00/100.125 1x2 call spread (which in turn had been part of a larger structure, back on Sep. 11). Another was RXX0 173.50/172.50ps, sold at 16 in 1k - heard closing (had been bought for 11.5 on Oct 2 in 1k).

Other options included:

  • OLH1 100.00/100.125cs vs 99.875p, bought the CS for 1 in 4k
