Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS

Thursday morning's data that showed inflation accelerated in March, squelched carry-over of the prior session's better upside call buying as implied rate cuts for year end receded. Not to say there were no calls bought in the current session, but option flows proved mixed as underlying futures continued to extend session lows in late trade.
