Rich Feltes, RJ O'Brien market research specialist, says to not read too much into Monday's trade action. "It's a risk-off day for the funds, Asia/EU investors are on holiday. So, I caution against reading too much into today's action," Feltes says. "The market has not addressed cool weather in May, which will further delay development."
