Dear Mr Abd Alhameed, there are two possible understanding from your question. Firstly, what is the ratio of speculation vs hedging in Palm Oil Futures market? Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad does not publish any details of speculative or hedging positions by commercial players. It will be quite difficult to ascertain the ratio. Secondly, what is impact of global stock market movement to the Palm Oil prices? Only large movements in global stock markets has profound effect on Palm Oil prices. A rising stock markets could lent support as banks and other financial services may provide easy funding for commodities trading, while big declines in stock market would be negative for Palm Oil prices. In year 2008, a big decline in stock markets globally brought prices of Palm Oil from RM 3600 to RM 1350 in 4 months.
