Russell 2000 Small Cap Index (.RUT) adds 3.71 to 839.97 and the Jun 895 – 905 call spread is seeing early interest. It appears that the spread is being sold-to-open at 30 cents, about 20K so far. The strategist is probably looking for the Russell to hold below 895 through the June expiration, which would represent a 6.55 percent move higher over the next 16 days.

Coca Cola (KO) loses 17 cents to $66.53 and the KO Jan 65 – 70 call spread is sold at $2.31, 10000X. While open interest [OI] is sufficient to cover in both contracts, this might roll a position up in strikes. Jan 65 calls on Coke are now 2.4 percent in-the-money and have OI of 51,454 contracts, which is the largest position in the name. An investor might be closing out a position in those calls after KO gained 8 percent off March 16 lows.
