Alcoa, Inc. (NYSE: AA) is trading up 4% at $13.97 today ahead of tomorrow’s earnings.  At 3:20 PM EST we have seen some 34 million shares trade hands, which is only an average day’s trading volume.  But we are seeing elevated call option trading ahead of tomorrow’s earnings report.  Here is the volume and open interest data for the selected OCT-2009 CALL and PUT strike prices:

CALLS    Volume    OpInt.
$14.00    28,328    56,582
15.00    10,049    55,084
16.00    12,852    6,745

PUT$    Volume    OpInt.
