Citigroup (C): Investors snapped up more than 13,000 July 27 calls, mostly for $0.25 and $0.26, looking for upside in the share price. C rose 0.04 percent to $27.11.
Bank of America (BAC): Almost 22,000 January 15 puts were bought for about $7.50. Volume was below open interest, so it may result from an investor unwinding an unprofitable put sale. BAC rose 0.13 percent to $7.54.
