Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup: Volume Sapped Post-NFP

US TSY OPTIONS

Early Friday trade favored upside call structure trade in SOFR and Treasury 5Y options - carry-over speculative hedging after the Fed opened the door to a potential pause in June. The post-employment data sell-off in underlying futures dampened the appetite for rate cut insurance, however. Volumes ebbed in the second half as participant drifted to the sidelines ahead the weekend. Salient trade:
