Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS
SOFR and Treasury option flow were mixed on net as underlying futures see-sawed lower following an unexpected increase in Core CPI inflation measures Wednesday. Better call buying in anticipation of as much as 150bp in rate cuts by year end, turned two-way after this morning's data. Projected rate cuts through year end remain soft vs. pre-data levels (*): Sep'24 cumulative -28.5bp (-32.7bp), Nov'24 cumulative -65.1bp (-72.5bp), Dec'24 -105.3bp (-114.5bp).
