Late Eurodollar/SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS
Really limited volumes as option traders pulled up stakes well ahead of Friday's event risk surrounding the Jackson Hole eco-summit.

Continued put spd buying and vol selling via strangles reported with today's event risk in the rear view mirror.
