Wilmar International (WIL)
Last price: S$3.15
Technically, WIL is likely to be supported above S$2.99 for further upside. The stock currently is being resisted at S$3.38.
On 1 Jul 13, WIL plans to cut ties with Indonesian suppliers that clear land with illegal fires after blazes engulfed Singapore in a record haze. In our institutional research report dated 1 Jul 13, we
upgrade the regional plantation sector to OVERWEIGHT from UNDERWEIGHT and maintain
our BUY recommendation on WIL with the same target price of S$3.80, in view of the recovery in CPO prices on the back of easing concern over high inventory levels and a slower production growth in 2014. The hot weather and the ringgit depreciation also provide short-term support to CPO prices. We raise sector valuation to upcycle valuation given the improving CPO price uptrend momentum. We also maintain our main CPO price assumptions of RM2,500/tonne for
2013 and RM2,950/tonne for 2014 and 2015.

Draghi noted that the effects of monetary policy has limitations, can not create real economic growth, the central bank can not repair the loss of competitiveness, fiscal consolidation should support economic growth in the euro area to restore balance to make progress on the European Central Bank has been possible to stabilize the market and support economic growth. Financial crisis did not originate from the euro zone.
Draghi believes that the government should make every effort to increase growth potential, the European banking union is necessary, we need a strong single clearing mechanism, the bond market is not destroyed in the case of providing constraints, a single clearing mechanism requires strong EU dimension. OMT debt purchase plan made without spending one euro in the case of all the results.
The ECB will oversee approximately 130 banks, the establishment of a single regulatory mechanism is essential, the European Central Bank will cooperate with national regulatory agencies, a single regulatory mechanism " is about to be finalized."
Draghi is expected before the end of the gradual economic recovery in the foreseeable future, the policy will remain accommodative. Exit from unconventional monetary policy is still far away, under certain conditions, be ready to start the OMT program when necessary.
LIM & TAN
Other than the haze controversies facing the regional
plantation sector with the likes of Golden Agri
Resources, Wilmar International and First
Resources, the U.S Department of Agriculture
forecasted that crude palm oil (CPO) inventories are
expected to jump 21% to a record 9.5 million metric
tons in 2013-2014. This highlights our concerns that
the outlook for CPO prices could be capped amid
ample CPO supply over the medium term, even as
Malaysian CPO inventory levels have been declining
since earlier this year.

Wilmar: Expect more volatility ahead
Wilmar with its large exposure to China via its oilseeds crushing and consumer pack businesses, is certainly feeling the impact from the recent slew of sluggish economic data out of the mainland.As such, stock price has been particularly volatile over the past week or so, rising by as much as 7.1% to a recent S$3.31 high before retreating by 6.3%.
Going forward, we continue to expect more volatility in share price, especially if market adopts a less “risk on” approach. In view of this, we reduce our valuation peg from 15x to 12.5x, which in turn reduces our fair value from S$3.90 to S$3.25. Downgrade to HOLD for now. (Carey Wong - OCBC Market Pulse)

Its attractive untill it suddenly drops by $1 to $2 tangible Nav support. Typically Resets so fast theres no time to cut loss. 
The substantial debt level is no kidding and its low margins high turnover model is sceptical to massive cashflow destruction   . major funds will be looking to sense the first signs or even a whiff of   reduction in revenue from collapsing commodities prices to short it.
