FKLI- Sell-Off After Ranging For Few Sessions.
The FBM KLCI tumbled about 11.89 points to 1,567.80 while index futures went down about 5 points to 1,569.50 level as market lack of positive news to support gains. Downside risk is magnified when the index start another round of correction yesterday. We could see higher chance of further correction if there is another lower low form, which is located around 1,560 level. Technically, based on hourly chart this down trending condition is likely to prolong judging on downward sloping trend following indicators such as moving average, bollinger band, MACD and etc. For daily chart, market is showing some sign of major correction is about to happen since it has breached b below the long term support trend line last week. Upside potential is likely limited up to second pivot resistance level and traders are advised to go Short if the market does recover to resistance level.

FCPO- Awaiting Cage / Range Break
CPO futures manage to inches up last Friday even though there was concern over upcoming May demand may deteriorate further and higher production expectation as well. The benchmark July manage to kept its gain at 3,505 on previous Friday despite volatile week for most commodities market. Palm oil prices is struggling to recover most of the time and there was less support from Soy oil as it is currently ranging as well. Despite there are some higher lows formed (no higher high yet), market is still trapped within the cage and there is no telling which promising direction they are heading to at the moment. The cage or ranging period for palm oil price is likely to meet new direction this week as the benchmark July could breach either one of the upper range or lower of the cage. But upside potential is somewhat limited due to negative palm oil fundamental expectation on early second quarter. For today, support is located around 3,470 while resistance is pegged at 3,530 level.
