Dear Mr. Siddiqui,

Indeed, it has been quite benign for the first 5 months of 2014. In my view, the market is still weighed down by weak longs, until the market manages to shake them up, we might get stuck here for the summer months, that said, June could be very eventful. Even this weekend after the Ukraine elections provides for a potential volatility trigger.
