US Treasury Bond (USH) Puts financed with short US 5-Year (FVH) Puts – Trade Idea

USH 155 Puts (-22.8 Delta) versus a vega weighted sale of FVH 118.25 Puts (25.3 % delta) with 39.7 days to expiry.

If you expect US Treasury Bonds to continue to underperform the shorter end of the curve (US CPI numbers tomorrow as well), maybe look to buy USH 155 Puts (-22.8 Delta) versus a vega weighted sale of FVH 118.25 Puts (25.3 % delta). The switch should come for a small credit, assuming a current vega weighting of 4.5 times.

Recent reversal trend looks pretty steady

Alternatives

The 2% support level in US 10-Years (TYH) can be used to create a similar trade, maybe check out the USH 155 Puts(-22.8 Delta) vs TYH 128 Puts (23.6% Delta), it should trade around flat. Low volatility in US 2-Years makes them unattractive currently as a sale currently. The skew in USH also looks pretty useful for Risk Reversal structures.
