Palm Oil Market Analysis: Factors that Influence Trade and Prices
|
This paper will discuss the various factors that are expected to influence CPO price direction and in turn palm oil trades in 2017.
In 2016, CPO price climbed 46% to end the year at RM3,202.5 per tonne as palm oil supply was negatively impacted by the El Nino event in 2015.
We project CPO prices to trade in the RM3,000-3,300 per tonne range in Feb 2017.
However, the current high CPO price may not be sustainable in 2H17, as palm oil supply is expected to rebound on the back of higher FFB yields.
The main bullish factors for prices continue to be the weak ringgit, low stockpiles, seasonally lower palm oil output and higher biodiesel mandates in Indonesia.
Factors currently capping CPO price upsides are further release of rapeseed oil stocks by the Chinese government, competition from soybean oil and slower global economic growth.

Thanks for the question. History revealed that previous "strong" El Nino events occurred in 1982, 1997 and 2017. Based purely on this, it suggests that we could witness the next strong El Nino in 15- 18 years time. As for an El Nino event (regardless of strength), it could happen approximately every two to seven years.
