The move over the December 2nd peak helped spark additional technical buying but solid demand from China and a surge higher in December (and cash) meal helped to support. Nearby meal futures surged more than $15.00 to help support the market. January oil closed down about 25 on the day. Exporters reported a sale of 290,000 tonnes of US soybeans sold to China with 230,000 for the 2013/14 season and 60,000 for 2014/15 season. The China soybean buying was a bit of a surprise as traders believe China has already booked nearly all of the demand for US soybeans through February and with a record South America crop on the way that demand will shift to mainly South America from now on. The China demand was partially offset by the excellent weather in the forecast for South American crops. Weekly export inspections hit 60.4 million bushels as compared with 54.9 million the previous week and just 19.35 million necessary each week to reach the USDA projection for the entire marketing year."
FCPO- It Would Not Be An Easy Ride Up.
Palm oil futures is correcting from the peak yet again yesterday after the benchmark Feb fell sharply right after it hit its high at 2,689 level. News and survey from the industry have led the market to believe export would reduce swiftly due to slow demand. Most of the country which import palm oil have gradually reduce due to high palm oil inventories. On our local scene, slow export undoubtedly increase palm oil stockpiles, a bad sign for palm oil further recovery. Technically, the benchmark Feb fall back into the range trading session, likely for this week. Price for the benchmark Feb is likely hovering within 2,692~2,600 level. Any break through above or below this range would likely force the price to rally further or to fall even deeper. Trade plan for today would be going Short if the benchmark Feb starting to correct after it hit 2,660 level (immediate resistance) or go Long if the market starting to recover after it went down to 2,629 level (immediate support level). Price action on hourly chart remain positive with series of higher lows and higher highs are formed for the past five weeks since 7th Nov 2013.
