The market was trading up just 1 1/4 cents into the mid-session lows after trading as much as 10 1/2 cents higher on the day just ahead of the pit opening. The surge higher in the US stock market did not seem to help commodity markets earlier today as the rally also came with a bounce in the US dollar which helped to pressure select commodity markets. The dollar traded near the high end of a 1-month range. The dollar pushed back down to lower on the day and this allowed for a strong recovery off of the lows. Ideas that China demand remains strong for US soybeans due to strong crush margins and tight holding from Argentina producers helped to support the market early. The lack of much in the way of Midwest rains in the forecast for the next two weeks suggests active harvest period ahead and this may have been a factor to spark some selling. If there was a weekly export sales update for the morning, traders believe it would show near 1 million tonnes as compared with 525,182 tonnes last year at this time. Traders see meal sales near 200,000 tonnes. December soybean oil pushed sharply higher on the session and saw the best close since September 27th."
FCPO- External And Local Bullish Sentiment Help Price To Rally
Palm oil futures is getting all the help it need to rally further this week. With upcoming debt debate within the U.S officials that will likely pass eventually and recent Soy oil and Soy bean rally couple with positive report from export figures, palm oil futures is likely breaking most of the resistance you can come up with. I might sound dramatic and over Bullish perhaps but that is a highly anticipated scenario if the market is prep to go up. Technically, the new benchmark Jan 2014 contract has breached above six weeks high at least when it closed at the high at 2,410 level. And couple with yesterday Soy oil rally that took the Dec contract to 41.43 cents per pound, you will be likely to see at least 10 points gap up on today opening session. Higher lows and higher highs are making their presence in the hourly chart steadily for the past two weeks and FCPO is on the run to topple previous late August high around 2,485 level soon. Play of the day, get ready to go Long if the market pull back to pivot support level or just Long on open if the gap up is less than 15 points on morning session, there would be some juice left for the market to head upwards if it open gap up less than 15 points.
