  • Low mkt measure of confidence in Fed managing a soft landing/avoiding recession reflected in inverted futures pricing moving to latter half of Whites w/ Mar'23 currently trading 96.115 vs. Jun'23 at 96.215. Inversion starts to recede around Blue Sep'25/Dec'25 trading 96.77.

  • Directionally, flows were mixed. Some faded the sell-off in underlying futures -- looking for a rebound (5,000 Sep 95.87/96.12/97.25/97.50 call condors, 19.5; 10,000 Jul 96.68/97.06 1x2 call spds, 5.5).
