Trading volume in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) surged to over three times the monthly average, driven by heavy put option buying as investors bet on rising yields and falling bond prices. Notable trades include a $2 million bet on a sharp drop in TLT by June and a $3 million straddle position anticipating large price swings by 2028.
