We are a little over half way through May and have approximately two-thirds of our CTAs updated through the month of April.  Overall the index is flat and carried by agriculture and equity index manager trading for the month.  Trend Following is so far posting a negative month with 73% of managers reporting.  So overall on the year we are off to a moderate start as we get deeper into the second quarter.  Without any significant trends we expect to see much of the same as the equity markets continue on the bull run.  Agriculture should be particularly interesting as we head into planting season and this pig virus continues to play itself out.
