what sunshine? the failed democratic system in India? what good would the boycott do to anyone? Especially to their own citizens. vested interests over there run the parliament,province,districts it's all talk and politicking, somehow or another our oil palm will reach india, maybe via singapore as usual, because, if it does not - is famine. __ Palm oil is largely consumed by the lower-middle class in India as it is an affordable edible oil (priced lower by 50 to 100 Indian rupees per 10kg or US$100 to US$200 per tonne compared with other edible oils), according to GG Patel and Nikhil Research Co (India).
Its managing partner Govindbhai G. Patel pointed out that palm oil was the main oil used by the hotel, restaurant and catering sector as well as by chips and savoury snack manufacturers.
___ As such, India would need at least eight million metric tonnes of palm oil by 2015 if palm oil maintains its market share of around 35-37% of the total oils and fats consumption, said Fatimah at the two-day event in Mumbai, themed Managing Global Challenges Through Innovative Partnerships.
Stochastic oscillator reach bottom too. Should be going to rebound. Bollinger band also hit bottom line. If still uptrend will go up very soon. Lets hope this counter still on uptrend.
Uob maintain Overweight in Plantation in today's report. Crude palm oil (CPO) futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (BMD) retreated 10% to hit limit down near the end of the trading session Tuesday, with the benchmark April contract closing RM286/mt down from the previous settle at RM2,575/mt. While the fall was loosely attributed to the coronavirus outbreak and its resulting adverse impact on consumer demand for palm oil, and a number of market participants cited the liquidiation of positions by speculators, as well as the spillover effect of reactionary weakess in wider global markets as complementary reasons for the drastic fall in in the futures.

UOB Kay Hian Comments:
Compare to SARS in 2003, at the peak in Feb – Jun 03 palm oil price has weaken about 18.5% from its high end-Dec 02 on the similar concern of demand destruction. However, CPO price recovered from Jul 03 onwards as palm oil inventory drawdown.
Palm oil inventory is expecting to continue downtrend at least for next 4 to 5 months due to the weak production. Palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia is not going to be good due to the impact of dry weather in 2019 and cut back on fertilizer application in 2H18 and 2019. Hence, we conclude that the selldown yesterday was overreacted and price should recover to reflect the supply tightness especially in 1H20.
Cooking oil demand is relatively stable. Less eating out may reduce the demand from HORECA sector but this will be compensated by the demand from consumer packs (more home cooking). We also foresee better opportunity for palm oil coming from lack of soybean oil supplies as a result so lower soybean crushing. The fear of consuming meat in China now may lead to slower demand for pork and poultry which could ultimately reduce the demand for soybean meal. With low soybean oil inventory in China now and not expecting any pick up of soybean crushing volume soon, this may translate into better opportunity for palm oil in China.
