No complex spread trades stood out on the tape, but i will point out that the skew is slanted toward downside risk, opening the door for a risk reversal type spread where a trader might sell put premium and buy comparatively cheaper call premium. If you are bullish after today's big news, then you might be inclined to try a spread like this.

No position at this time. Position declarations are believed to be accurate at time of writing but may change at any time and without notice.
