SOFR Option Weekly Commentary
8/11 to 8/15/25

08/15/25 13:29:39 UTC-5:00

Mixed signals again this week. PPI was much higher than expected (causing a few to question the Fed's likely Sep cut), however, higher costs do not seem to be getting fully passed along to consumers as CPI was in line with expectations. Retail sales came in relatively strong today, but consumer sentiment was lower. All eyes will be on Fed Chairman Powell's speech next Friday in Jackson Hole.

Vols were lower across the board for the week with the exception of SFRH7 & SFRM8 which were basically Unch (see attached spd sheet).
