Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS
Aside from the heavy volume in Sep'24 SOFR option that expire today (over 350,000 in the SFRU4 95.12 strike alone), option desks reported continued interest in SOFR and Treasury option upside calls Friday. Carry-over support in underlying futures (SFRU4 +.050 at 95.1425; SFRZ4 +0.080 at 95.965) remained strong as speculation over more than a 25bp rate cut at next week's FOMC continued. Projected rate hikes through year end firmer vs. late Thursday levels (*) : Sep'24 cumulative -38.1bp (-31.5bp), Nov'24 cumulative -76.6bp (-68.6bp), Dec'24 -117.4bp (-107.5bp).
