The S&P 500 index SPX +0.02% added less than half a point to 1,472.63, with telecommunications hit the hardest and the recently beaten-up technology sector the best performer of its 10 major industry groups."
"-Oil futures climbed Wednesday, recouping losses from the previous session and then some to finish at their highest level since Sept. 18. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported an unexpected decline of 1 million barrels in crude inventories for the week ended Jan. 11.

March soybeans traded sharply higher on the day on support from a stronger meal market and oil saw gains as well. Thoughts that China has secured additional cargos this week helped to support along with a drier forecast for Argentina and Southern Brazil. Northern Brazil continues to see beneficial rainfall but scattered showers in Mato Grosso could delay harvest activity this week. The CIF basis was steady midday on the jump in futures but interior basis levels remain historically high as traders attempt to drum up cash grain movement in the country. Crush margins remain positive but have contracted modestly due to the firm basis levels. The tight domestic supply outlook and strong pace of demand continues to favor the bulls but some suggest that the possible bumper crop in South America along with a shift in demand to the Southern Hemisphere could limit gains as we move into February and March."

Palm oil futures continue to make some recovery yesterday as previous Short traders cover their positions due to sudden subside in stock fear. Words out that palm oil stocks level maybe halt from rising due to slower output caused by rainy season. At close, the new benchmark Apr went up about RM13 to settle at 2,428 level, the day high and low was 2,444~2,423 while volume was recorded thinner than usual at 15,882 lots. Technically, compare on the swiftness when it corrected palm oil futures gains was not that incredible as it only rose less than 1% per session starting last Friday session. Palm oil gains was rather a struggle to go up, as if the Bulls are still hesitating to charge, well most of time. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that market is likely to recover further on intraday basis judging on Bullish candle formation formed on 15 minutes to hourly chart. There was a more higher lows and higher highs spotted in 15 minutes chart compare to other higher time frame chart. Another key caused for this sudden Bullish momentum might be due to Soy oil futures rally for the past two days.
