i fear that it is nothing nearly as interesting.... rather, it is "larger than the market" plain vanilla 10y IRS mortage-porfolio client negative convexity trade (i.e "where can you receive on 2 billion USD 10y? This along with the hedge fund "catch you asleep at the wheel" 5billion notional 10y1y IRS vs 11y1y IRS (trying to pick off your 11y interp....).....in option land it's a request for 2mm vega of long-dated american-style swaption vol 5 min before friday employment (also the mortage idiots)....sorry...
