FCPO- Sideways Before The Storm.
Palm oil futures is travelling on sideways note between 2,420~2,390 level for the moment unless there is some solid pointer we can use from the MPOB report due to release today. The expectation for MPOB report would be 1% to 3% increment on inventory and production while 6% to 11% growth on export for the month of Jun 2014. These are slightly Bearish report for the current benchmark August futures contract if the MPOB report came out within expectation. Technically, the price action still fall within sideways mode within 2,390 to 2,420 level, with long term perspective remain Bearish. Some may say the palm oil futures is consolidating but it is easier to identify this kind of market cycle as sideways. We might looking at possible short term recovery if the benchmark August manage to breach above 2,420~2,425 this week or resuming its Bearish trend if the immediate support at 2,390 is taken out today. Higher resistance is pegged around 2,450 level while market would fall even further if the benchmark August cannot hold its previous support level at 2,375. For today, pivot support is located around 2,395 while resistance is pegged at 2,427.
