  • UXYM4 1,900 lots blocked at 110-23, looks like a seller. DV01 ~$161.5K.
  • That points to a TU/FV/UXY fly trade, selling the wings & buying the belly.
  • The 2s5s10s cash butterfly sees 5s trading at the cheapest level since Oct ’23 ahead of this afternoon’s 5-Year Tsy auction. This position looks to fade that move.
