Big Bearish Play in Industrial SPDR ETF Put Options

  Today’s tickers: XLI, PKX, JAG & GKK XLI  - Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund –  A massive put spread on the XLI, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the Industrial Select Sector of the S&P 500 Index, appears to be the work of a bearish strategist positioning for the price of the underlying fund to pull back.

Shares in POSCO are currently down 1.15% to stand at $113.17 just before 12:20pm in New York. It looks like the investor responsible for nearly all of the options activity on the stock today extended bullish sentiment on PKX by rolling a previously established long call stance up to a higher strike price.
