SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) $139.65 -1.14%
The top options trades so far today are in the SPDR 500 Trust (SPY), which is down $1.68 to $139.58, after an Apr 134 – 136 – 138 put butterfly spread is bought on the ETF for 20 cents, 75000X. Open interest is sufficient to cover, but this might be a new position designed to hedge the risk of further losses in the equity market over the next two and a half weeks. The best payoff happens if shares fall to $136 (~2.6%) through the April expiration (16 days).
