Notably, while bond yields have declined in recent months on hopes of Fed easing, inflation expectations have risen further, with 1Y inflation swaps now trading around 3.3% (vs. 2.5% in Jan). In other words, US real yields have collapsed with bond traders wagering the Fed will look through any inflation uptick and focus entirely on the softening labor market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demand for optionality increased sharply post-FOMC with single stock option volume hitting a record high of 54M contracts on Friday. Most of the uptick came from the call-side as the equity put\/call ratio fell to a 3-months low. The bullish sentiment can also be seen in the number of names trading with inverted call skew (i.e. OTM calls trading at a premium to ATM calls), which is typically a sign of extreme optimism. That number jumped from 3% to 12% over the past week though it still pales to previous episodes of widespread investor euphoria (e.g. 2021 or 4Q24 when that percentage reached a high of 30%).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the index level, what\u2019s notable is the surge in bullish activity in the Russell 2000 index, with IWM call volumes hitting an all-time high of 2.85M contracts last Monday (over 5x the number of puts trading).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chart-bullish-sentiment-in-the-options-market-jumped-sharply-last-week\"><strong>Chart: Bullish
