iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM) $42.58 -1.51%
A massive block of puts traded on the Emerging Market ETF a few minutes ago on the Amex as a trader paid 62cents for 100,000 June 37 puts to open a new position as the ETF traded near $42.59. Total premium outlay was $6.2million and the position may hedge notional value near $426 million for the next 30days. This is the largest block to trade in EEM since Feb 3rd when half a million puts traded, including the March 39-43 put fly 100,000x for 30.5cents. With last Friday’s 44.09 close, that expired worthless. Hamilton Executions crossed the trade on the Amex.
