Free AccessLate SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup
FI option trade has been relatively mixed on lighter volumes until yesterday. Tuesday trade carries over to today: decidedly bearish positioning in SOFR options (combination of rate cuts evaporating and expectation of surge in Bill issuance if debt ceiling gets raised). While treasury option trade remains bullish - outright calls, call spds bought in 2s, 5s and 10s. The gist is positioning tone has segued from upside rate cut hedging a couple weeks ago,. to non-comital as debt ceiling gyrations pushed direction players to the sidelines the last several days, to more consistent downside insurance buying the last two days. NOTE on the latter, these are NOT huge positions, more fast money, spec trades looking for projected rates cuts to continue to soften, rather than rate hike (or heavy bill issuance on back of debt ceiling agreement) positioning.
