Tuesday, 8th Oct 2013. Palm oil futures still need more time to breach from current 60 points trading range and it will need much help from Soy oil and other news to do it. Other news to follow.
"- U.S. stocks declined on Monday, with the S&P 500 index closing at a four-week low, as a stalemate on Capitol Hill over preventing a government default persisted. After an almost 152-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.91% shed 136.34 points, or 0.9%, to 14,936.24, with Visa Inc.V -2.18% and American Express Co. AXP +0.19% leading declines that included 27 of its 30 components. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.85% fell 14.38 points, or 0.9%, to 1,676.12, with consumer discretionary pacing losses and telecommunications the best performing of its 10 sectors.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.98% shed 37.38 points, or 1%, to 3,770.38."
"-Japanese stocks fell early Tuesday, with trading starting shortly after the Ministry of Finance said the country's current account showed an surplus of ¥161.5 billion ($1.67 billion) in August, a 63.7% drop from the year-earlier period and below forecasts of ¥540 billion, according to Dow Jones Newswires. The Nikkei Stock Average JP:NIK -0.74% fell 66 points, or 0.5%, to 13,786.98."
"- Crude-oil futures settled lower on Monday, pressured by a lack of progress toward ending a U.S. government shutdown and an upcoming deadline to avoid a debt default, but prices managed to close above $103 a barrel for a fourth session in a row. Natural-gas prices, meanwhile, rallied on the back of production losses last week in the Gulf of Mexico and other weather-related concerns. Crude oil for November delivery CLX3 +0.05% declined 81 cents, or 0.8%, to settle at $103.03 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices, which last week gained 0.9%, held their ground above $103 for a fourth-straight session."
"-November Soybeans finished up 1 1/2 at 1296 1/2, 8 1/2 off the high and 8 up from the low. January Soybeans closed up 2 at 1297. This was 8 up from the low and 7 off the high. December Soymeal closed up 2.4 at 420.8. This was 4.7 up from the low and 1.9 off the high. December Soybean Oil finished down 0.34 at 39.9, 0.59 off the high and 0.08 up from the low. November soybeans closed 1 1/2 cents higher on the session after choppy and two-sided trade. The market traded as much as 10 cents higher on the day in overnight action but since 5:00 am has been only able to trade unchanged on the day at best and was trading lower on the day into the mid-session. Talk of profit-taking and ideas that spread traders are exiting soybean/corn spreads helped to pressure. Traders see improving weather for South American this week as a negative factor. In addition, US harvest is expected to pick-up with 5-6 days of mostly dry weather ahead. Traders believe harvest is about 20-22% complete. A turn up in meal into the mid-session helped support the bounce. Weather leans bearish for South America and the US but meal demand was the positive force for today."FCPO- Wait For It, Wait For The Break Out !!!
