"-May Soybeans finished down 10 1/2 at 1444 1/2, 24 1/2 off the high and 2 1/2 up from the low. July Soybeans closed down 18 at 1369 1/4. This was 3 up from the low and 25 3/4 off the high. July Soymeal closed down 5.3 at 401.2. This was 1.0 up from the low and 8.0 off the high. July Soybean Oil finished down 0.51 at 48.76, 0.97 off the high and 0.15 up from the low. The soybean market traded sharply lower on the day and the May contract continued gaining on the July as tight interior supplies and lack of deliveries underpin the supportive tone. Crush demand has simply not backed off enough given the tight 2012/13 carryout and farmers remain busy in the fields planting corn with very little interest selling soybeans at current cash levels. The July/November spread took a step back today as traders took profits and on rumors that South American supplies may be close to working into US east coast ports. The USDA will release the first planting progress report today with the market looking for 4% complete. Export inspections were mildly supportive but the market continues to pay more attention to weather and new crop supply potential. Shipments for the week ending May 2nd came in at 6.4 million bushels, down from 8.9 the week prior but above the 5.3 million needed each week to reach the USDA estimate. The cumulative shipment pace is sitting at 93% of the USDA export estimate as compared with the 5 year average of 84.5%."

FKLI- There Are Fund Flowing Back To The Capital Market

Stock index and index futures rose to record high above 1,800 level for the first time since its establishment, marking the influential effect behind the results on Malaysia polling yesterday. Major political event that involve large mobilization of fund. Local fund and foreign fund have to go somewhere and judging from a new found economy and political stability, there is no better place to invest here in Malaysia. Traders would be surprise how significant yesterday movement in the market, but this is the information digested by the market. Most political changes or major intervention by government into the economy will make the market move exponentially. Take the major sub-prime mortgage crisis in America, Obama administration had spend trillions of Dollars to provide liquidity and salvage key company from it to collapse.

FCPO- Testing Major Support

Palm oil futures is losing gradually and heading to six months major support located around 2,220 level. All signs so far are still pointing to South with more and more lower highs and lower lows formed virtually on every time frame. No soul would knows whether the benchmark July rebound swiftly after approaching that major support level but we are expecting some recovery, at least from some bargain hunter when the price dropped to six months lows. Record high stockpiles over two millions tons and sluggish palm oil demand that could not keep up with active production were the culprit to blame when the price outlook become Bearish for the past two and a half months ago. Technically, Bears are still the boss in the market as there is no sign of higher high nor higher low form on hourly chart to signify market recovery at the moment. Apart from major support anticipation, the MPOB is going to release palm oil market data coming this 10th May with slightly weaker improvement on export and stock piles. For today, pivot support for July contract is located around 2,231 followed by 2,220 major support while resistance is pegged at 2,267 followed by 2,284.
