Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup: 10Y Midcurve Calls

US TSYS

Mixed trade on rather decent volumes were reported Thursday, better puts on net as underlying futures reversed the post-CPI data bid to broadly weaker in through the second half. A notable shift in derivatives occurred as rate hike projections into year end cooled, spurring some chunky upside call buying in the short end. Of note, paper bought over 80,000 wk2 TY 112.5 calls that expire tomorrow, at 1-2 with underlying futures trading at 110-28. Note, TYU3 traded as high as 111-29 after this morning's CPI data while Friday sees the next inflation metric with July PPI released.
