ahead of earnings report on July 14. More than 100,000 call options contracts were traded on Thursday, which is twice the daily average call options volume. The most of the Thursday's volume happened in the July 67.5 / 70 one by two call spread. The traders bought 20,000 contracts of the July 67.5 calls and sold 40,000 contracts of the July 70 calls and paid around $0.40 for the structure.
