SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) $132.87 -0.17%
The biggest trade so far today is in the SPDR 500 Trust (SPY) after 40,000 June 134 calls were sold on the ETF at 65 cents per contract on PHLX. Shares are down 15 cents to $132.95 and the big block is probably a liquidating trade. The contract is .8 percent OTM with four days of life remaining and 167K in open interest. The hefty premium sale might reflect diminishing expectations for another market rally through Friday. SPY had its best weekly gain for 2012 last week after gaining nearly 4 percent.
