MGM Resorts International (MGM) $13.07 +0.93%
MGM adds 16 cents to $13.11 and early options trades include a Jan 12.5 – 16 call spread, bought at $1.40, 5000X. Shares of the casino-operator are up 10.6 percent snice June 20 and now testing a 200-day exponential moving average. Today’s spread trader might be anticipating additional strength and rally beyond $16 through the Jan expiration. However, open interest in the 12.5s is sufficient to cover (69K). So, the spread might roll an existing position up in strike prices.
