SPX same day
#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Aug 15th 4390/4410-4490/4510 condors for .85, deltas -.06 +.06, IV 22.1%, 1 hour 18 minutes after open.
I decided to wait on this as market dropped in middle of night and it seemed it would drop more after open. This is in addition to the condor sold yesterday, which is still open.
TLT
Investors pulled more than $1.8 billion from the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) last week. This mass withdrawal ranks as the largest migration from the fund since March 2020. Investors’ sentiment has shifted away from long-term Treasurys as they expect the Fed to hold rates higher for longer. Yields on long-term U.S. debt have risen significantly as a result, impacting demand for the recent 30-year Treasury auction and prompting investors to reevaluate their positions in TLT.
