Next Possible Direction For FCPOAs expected market has moved towards the north and seems to have exhausted its uptrend momentum at least for now. Correction is now more likely to occur after 5 waves move have already unfolded in the wave 3 Primary. Given that correction in the Primary Wave 2 is a Zig Zag, the rule of alternation could be at play here for Primary Wave 4 - most probably flat correction, triangle or double three. I'm inclined into assuming that it is flat correction. A break below 3848 would invalidate this assumption and suggest another wave is unfolding.

Wave (3) still ongoing for FCPO ?Based on the movement of the market yesterday, it might be possible that (3) is still in play here and its due to 2 reasons:
1) Wave (3) is an extension - thought to be, technically the market should at least move until it reaches fibo level 1.618.
2) Formation of the market highlighted in the box seems to be developing a five wave move (not confirmed yet).

Possible bullish course for FCPOFCPO could potentially be on its bullish course to reach RM 5000. However, there could be some room for the price to drop just slightly to complete of what could be a flat correction in the 2. An immediate break from the zone area highlighted with a box could suggest that flat correction have completed and might be on the 3 of (3) wave.

Crude Palm Oil’s underperformanceThis chart caught our attention recently. The Crude Palm Oil – Soybean Oil Spread (in USD per Metric Ton) is trading close to an all-time high now.
This spells trading opportunity for us as Palm Oil and Soybean Oil are generally considered substitute products, which means, at a large enough price difference, buyers may hop over to buy the cheaper one. Eventually closing the price gap back to its historical mean.
Further comparison of Palm Oil against its other substitute, the European Low Sulphur Gasoil Financial Futures, also shows the spread between these products near the high.
A price comparison among the 3 products, Palm Oil, European low Sulphur Gasoil and Soybean Oil underscores this price disparity even clearer. The prices of the 3 products have generally trended together, up until July 2022 when Palm Oil started to underperform.
Stepping back into the macro side, some potential tailwinds for Crude Palm Oil include;
1) The reopening of China, which would increase the demand for palm oil from the world’s 2nd largest importer of the product.
2) Biofuel Mandates, which would put higher demand pressure on Palm Oil.
3) Slowing production growth in palm oil could lead to supply-demand imbalances, pushing palm oil higher as supply falters.
One way to trade this price divergence would be to short the Soybean Oil – Palm Oil spread. This trade can be set up by selling 1 Soybean Oil Futures and buying 1 USD Malaysian Crude Palm Oil Futures. However, do note that in such a set-up, the position is not fully ‘hedged’ as the contract units are different, 1 Soybean Oil Futures has a contract unit of 60,000 Pounds (~27.21 metric tons) while 1 Crude Palm Oil Futures is for 25 metric tons.
Another option would be to trade the exchange listed Crude Palm Oil – European Low Sulphur Gasoil Spread (POG) which handles the construction of the spread and is financially settled, removing delivery risk.
While it’s hard to ‘call’ the top, such price divergence provides interesting opportunities that we leverage if risk is managed properly. These trade set-ups allow us to express the view that Palm Oil’s underperformance will be closed, either by Palm oil catching up with its substitutes or if its substitutes fall in prices.

FCPO - Bear taking breathAfter a series of 8th falling trading days, price of FCPO constructed a short term bullish AB=CD pattern in daily TF. It's been oversold but not in extreme way yet.
Current price is hovering around 5477 (the neck line of a bigger pattern) and may have a small rebound before a continuation.
May focus on the price action along with confirmation of oscillator especially the neck line region for a the 1st TP of 6070. If the price manage to piercing thru the red dash trendline, the 2nd TP would be 6512.

CPO Unstoppable Rocket? Or…. Ranging?What’s other factors would continue to move palm oil prices?
1. India imports hit 12-months low on sky high prices in CPO. This may led to demand further decline as buyers are price sensitive as it relies on imports for 60% of its needs. Currently, India rely on existing stockpiles and incoming domestic rapeseed crop to meet domestic demand
2. Revision of export restriction from Indonesia as food protectionism grows. Companies need to allocate 30% of exports for home market. Government are taking steps to safeguard domestic food supplies after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

So, what’s make palm oil now the costlier edible oil among the 4 major edible oils?
Global commodities rallied following EU bans certain Russian banks from SWIFT bank payment system which aimed to stuttering the Russia economy and introduces further restrictions.
The war expected to disrupt the processing and export of Ukraine oilseeds crops for at least 1 month and curb flow of sunflower seed to the European Union.
2. India’s reserve is facing a depletion in stocks levels with a lack of shipments of sunflower oil from the Black Sea Region.
India requested Indonesia temporary reduce their biodiesel blending rules and increase the exports to mitigate disrupted supplies of sunflower oil.
3. Rising concerns on adequate palm supply levels for post-Ramadan restocking.
While expectations of higher productions in coming months as high output cycle kicks in and government also announced new migrant workers to work in plantation sector capped gains.

FCPO continue 6400 or Short Term Correction?FCPO set their biggest weekly gains in more than 9 months despite a sharp drop on Friday, as Russia’s attack on Ukraine stoked worries about global edible oil supply.
I believe who traded last week hopefully you were enjoy the roller coaster ride in the market.
For your information, Ukraine is a major key supplier of grains and oilseeds globally, any further threats to trade will shift demand for other vegetable oil such as SBO and CPO.
As we all knew that the unresolved Ukraine crisis may further erode the supply of vegetable oil, grains, crude and natural gas due to the grain flows disruption in Black Sea export region with all transportation avenue were disrupted by military operation.
Besides, India stopped buying sunflower oil following ports suspended operation on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. India pivot to alternate oils could further support Malaysian palm oil and US soyoil.
On the other hand, surging in COVID cases also keep palm oil prices elevated for 1H2022 as shortage of labour and supplies.
Furthermore, worsening yields in Argentina and Brazil pushed importers to buy from alternative supplier.

Market uptrend remains with immediate support at 5825.

Reversal Signs Continue in Palm Oil MarketFCPO closed higher at 5539 after gap filled at 5612 by last Friday but posted weekly losses.
What were the factors that caused crude palm oil prices struggling to maintain above 5800?
1. India reduce farm infrastructure tax on CPO to 5%, which will effective until Sept 30, with the objective to increase gap between CPO and refined palm oil to benefit the domestic refining industry.
2. Uncertainties over Ukraine crisis lead market to stay vigilant on possible rising tensions.
3. Better production forecast for 1st half of Feb limited the upside of palm oil prices
4. Soybean Oil continue to move higher as concerns over weather forecast and fire incident broke in US biodiesel plant at Claypool, Indiana. Furthermore, India acquire massive purchase on soybean oil as high soybean price for local crushers to reduce output.

6. Near month spread widen as traders foresee East Malaysia production remains weak for Feb.
