"-Crude-oil futures rallied 2.5% on Tuesday to settle at a nine-month high, pushing past $105 a barrel on fears of more supply disruptions from Iran’s latest move and as traders cheered Greece’s second bailout. Crude for March delivery CLH2 +3.49% advanced $2.60, or 2.5%, to settle at $105.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was oil‘s highest settlement since early May."
"-US soybean futures end higher, fueled by strong export demand and lingering uncertainty about South American production. Soybeans climbed to fresh four-month highs, able to withstand spillover pressure from corn and wheat. Ongoing concerns about smaller crop sizes in South America are attracting fresh export business, and with corn poised to grab more US acres from soybeans this year, traders are comfortable adding risk premium to prices, analysts say. CBOT March soybeans ended up 3 1/2c to $12.71/bushel. Soy product futures end mixed, with soymeal unable to feed off the firm price theme in soybeans. Soymeal stumbled with other feed grains, garnering additional pressure from sluggish domestic demand, analysts say. Soyoil futures climbed, buoyed by strength in soybeans and crude oil futures. CBOT March soymeal ended down $2.30 at $330.20/short ton; March soyoil ended up 0.66c to 54.06c/lb."
FKLI- Holding On Their Gain
Stock index continue to rose for the second time this week as Greece receive deal on their second bailout yesterday. Despite craze rally, local and regional market did not respond that well as this Greece bailout results has already anticipated previously. But nonetheless, this news does strengthen market confidence and generally paving way for more promising recovery on the stock market. Technically, the Feb contract has expand higher yesterday as a continuity from it's previous uptrend. Although we are not anticipating a smooth sailing approaching 1,600 level, there is no danger sight for Bearish trend reversal yet so far. Plus U.S market is expected to resume its trading session on higher note after it close on Monday for Presidency holiday. If anything goes wrong, the index futures should rebound from the support channel or some would know it as support trend line. For today, support is located around 1,561.50 while resistance is pegged at 1,576.50

FCPO- Bulls Are Dominating.
CPO futures continue to move upwards with higher gear yesterday couple with promising surge on Soya oil during Asia trading session. At close, the benchmark May gained about RM23 to 3,268 while CME Soya oil rose about 0.415 cents to 53.81 cents per pound on 5.45PM +8GMT. Part of palm oil price recovery was likely due to surging commodities prices that include Crude oil and Soya oil, which is more relevant. Technically, market is still trending up and we are expecting the benchmark May to continue rising until 3,300 which could turn out to be another important resistant level. Some of you may ask whether the Bulls still have the energy to rise after it have rally more than 200 points from previous swift correction that brought the market down to 3,050 level, 3 weeks ago. There would be no direct answer to this as some traders would like to re-act to major support and resistance level while most of the traders in the market would like to pick the top and bottom to execute their trades. And by that reason alone, market will move within expectation and most of the time beyond our expectation. For this mean time, support is located around 3,240 while resistance is pegged at 3,284 followed by 3,300 level.
