Bonds Vol Opp.

Scott GecasGeneral Commentary

Bond

Vol Put spread swap

Volatility is elevated going into unemployment. The recent rally is bonds must be noted with light volume. To take advantage of the elevated volatility with a down side bias one could sell week 3 144/143 put spread for 13/64. Buy Apr week 1 144.5/143 put spread 31/64 for net 18/64 debit. Volatility should collapse after the unemployment number Friday 3/8/19. If no big surprise out of the number one is left with a long put spread going into the FOMC meeting. Volatility should remain bid on the long put spread going into FOMC. This is a good way to take advantage of heightened volatility with a down side bias going into FOMC. CME rate watch is at 98.7% rate will be unchanged.

Protect yourself at all times.
