Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

FI option volume surged Wednesday, driven largely by upside call and call spreads as underlying futures climbed back near middle of the week's range. Yield curves bull flattened as rate futures reacted to softer inflation metrics and prospect of less aggressive forward rate hikes. Salient SOFR trade: buyer over 100,000 SFRZ3 98.00/98.50 call spds, 1.5 ref 95.63.
