A massive options trade occurred last week in iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG). HYG is a massively popular high yield bond fund that also has a very active options chain. A put spread was recently sold on HYG with over 150,000 contracts per leg. This trade is likely meant to boost “yield” from HYG by collecting put premiums.
