In our paper, we analyse the prospects for CPO price in 2nd half of the year 2016 using both fundamental and technical analysis. From a fundamental perspective, we are of the view that the key factors that will be driving CPO price in 2nd half are:
(1) Chinese demand;
(2) palm oil yields;
(3) Biodiesel demand in Indonesia and Malaysia; and
(4) US soybean crops.
We project CPO price to weaken in 3rd quarter before recovering in late 4th quarter and average RM2,400 per tonne for 2nd half of 2016. This is lower than the 1st half of 2016's average of RM2,517 per tonne. On the technical view, we see CPO trading in a sideways to higher in the coming months.
