FCPO- Do Not Hope For Recovery Too Soon


We are yet out of the Bearish market or this Bearish momentum is come to an end whatsoever. There is no conducive sign for us to take into consideration yet even palm oil futures prices have fall to five years low. The only intelligent guesses you can make will be, this Bearish market is yet over. More weakness is possible with current active output due to good weather and this will subsequently increase palm oil stocks to 1% to 4% gradually. With this in mind, there is no telling where is the next support or where palm oil futures Bearish momentum will run-off its steam. Moving on, we are looking at slightly higher opening today as Soy oil futures manage to recover slightly above 30.02 cents as the time of writing. But bear in mind that we are yet out of negative price movement yet. The new benchmark Nov contract can fall below 2,000 level this month if there is not much good news from export figures, ITS and SGS cargo surveyors. Technically, without incorporating any fancy indicators or calculation, we might looking at first resistance level around 2,095 followed by 2,104 level while support is located around 2,080 followed by 2,074 level. The Nov contract is likely recover further if the first resistance level broken, and bad news if it manage to breach below 2,080 level today. More weakness is expected anything below 2,080 level.
