Huge Put Position Rolled on Emerging Markets (EEM)

Shares of the ISHARES MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND EEM are higher on the session by 1.11%, currently trading at $39.19. The ETF recently made a new low on its recent retracement and is now butting its head against the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Technical theory would suggest outlaying shorts on the EEM near these levels. One options trader is betting on further downside for the ETF by rolling a long put position from June to July. The June $38 put was sold on the bid 119,800 times for $0.26 and the July $37 put was purchased near the offer 119,800 times for $0.95. This suggests that a very large, institutional investor is still very worried about a further drop in worldwide markets. The ISHARES MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets index.
