DJ MARKET TALK: Singapore Palm Stocks Up; Outlook Bullish -BNPP
0248 GMT [Dow Jones] Singapore palm oil stocks higher, outperforming wider market on renewed confidence in palm oil price outlook. Indofood Agri (5JS.SG) +1.4% at S$2.13, Golden Agri (G17.SG) +0.6% at S$0.91, Wilmar (F34.SG) +0.7% at S$4.39, First Resources (EB5.SG) +0.5% at S$0.935. All doing better than FTSE ST All Share, down 0.5%. BNP Paribas reiterates Overweight call on Asian plantation sector, says recent pullback in soybean prices on increased soybean acreage, which triggered drop in crude palm oil (CPO) prices, was not based on fundamentals. Increased acreage only tiny as proportion of total soybean land; says, "oilseed supply tightness prevails and substitution and rising demand will keep CPO prices firm." Several Singapore palm stocks still giving oversold signals on technical indicators, but today's share price rises are on low volume, which suggests further near-term upside is capped. (KIG)
Safe investment depends on fundamentals. Rather naive for anyone to think that u can just talk up the price of a share. Large voume buy up seen this morning. Technical indicators look positive. Following articles are positive:
Malaysian shares were slightly higher in early trading on Tuesday as palm oil stocks edged higher after recent gains in crude palm oil (CPO) futures. Palm oil stocks have the biggest weighting on the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI), making up about 20 percent of the benchmark index.
Plantation giant Sime Darby, the largest stock on the bourse by market value, rose 0.6 percent to 8.70 ringgit.
Malaysia's second-largest palm oil producer, IOI Corp, added 0.8 percent to 6.70 ringgit and Kuala Lumpur Kepong, which owns plantation estates in Malaysia as well as Indonesia, gained 1.3 percent to 15.60 ringgit.
SINGAPORE: Palm oil futures in Malaysia, the global benchmark, rose for a third day on speculation Argentine farmers may reduce soybean planting for the next season after the government raised export taxes.
Soybean oil prices in Chicago gained for a fifth day as farm groups in Argentina, the world?s largest exporter of the vegetable oil, protested against the tax increases and blocked shipments in a three-week strike that was suspended April 2.
Palm oil, the main substitute for soybean oil, has gained 10% this year while soybean oil has jumped 15%.
?The market is worried that Argentine farmers may plant less soybeans and there could be a shortfall even if US farmers plant more,? Ivy Ng, analyst at CIMB Securities Bhd, said by phone from Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Palm oil for June delivery rose RM85 to RM3,382 a tonne on the Bursa Derivatives yesterday.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc said on April 3 it remained ?very cautious? on the outlook for greater soybean production in Argentina. Less of the oilseed may be grown because of an increase in export taxes, Goldman Sachs analysts said in a report.

Imports of palm oil into the European Union (EU) are set to grow as it is relatively cheaper than soy or sun oil.
Heike Hintze-Gharres, market analyst at the Home Grown Cereals Authority, said: ?The amount of palm oil used in the EU is astonishing.?
While many people have raised concerns about the use of the edible oil to make bio-diesel, she said: ?What people don't always realise is how much it is used for everything else.?
About 10 percent of products on the EU's supermarket shelves contain palm oil, she said, adding that about 74 percent of palm oil in the EU goes towards food production.
Richard Whitlock, Industrial Crops Director at Frontier Agriculture, said that palm oil production had been expanding rapidly before the bio-fuels industry took off, and that bio-fuels were "the icing on the cake".
He said that although sustainability standards in the European Union for both food and bio-fuels could help to put the brakes on deforestation, these standards needed to be made global or else unsustainable palm would continue to be profitable in other regions.
Another piece of positive news for palm oil stocks investors.

Palm Oil Exports To Hit Record RM50 Bln This Year, Says MPOB
KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 (Bernama) -- Palm oil export earnings will touch
a record high of RM50 billion this year with prices expected to
maintain its bullish run, according to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board
(MPOB).
In tandem with soaring palm oil prices, export revenue has
increased 41.8 percent to RM45.1 billion compared to RM31.8 billion in
2007, MPOB chairman Datuk Sabri Ahmad said Monday.
He said continued tight supply and high demand of vegetables oil
as well as adverse weather conditions could see a continued bull-run of
palm oil prices in 2008 and 2009.
"We expect the world demand for vegetable oils and fats to
increase within the next three to four years," Sabri said at the MPOB
Programme Advisory Meeting 2008 here.
"China and India are expected to take the lead in demand for palm
oil due to mushrooming domestic industries and increasing consumption,"
he said.
Sabri said the palm oil industry recorded "phenomenal performance"
in 2007, with the average price of crude palm oil at RM2,530.50 per
tonne as against RM1,510.50 the previous year, up by 67.5 percent.
However, the production of crude oil declined marginally by 0.4
percent to 15.823 million tonnes from 15.880 million tonnes the
previous year, he said.
The total oil palm planted area increased by 3.4 percent in 2007
to 4.304 million hectares from 4.165 million hectares in 2006, he added.
Sabri said palm oil exports declined by 4.8 percent to 13.737
million tonnes in 2007 from 14.423 million tonnes the previous year.
China maintained its position as the largest importer of Malaysian
palm oil for the sixth consecutive year, importing 3.84 million tonnes
or 27.9 percent of total, he said.
Other major importers included the European Union which bought
2.06 million tonnes or 15 percent, Pakistan which recorded 1.07 million
tonnes or 7.8 percent and the United States which imported 0.79 million
tonnes or 5.8 percent.
Sabri said the reduction in the import of Malaysian palm oil
products by traditional markets such as India and efforts to penetrate
new markets have to be addressed so as to ensure increased
marketability.
He also said that research and development must continue to
increase productivity, enhance value addition and generate wealth in a
sustainable manner.

Looks like fundamentals still very strong for palm oil stocks. Today's CPO futures closed up sharply. Prices for counters like golden agri, indo-agri, first resources and wilmar should see strong support and continue to trend upwards based on fundamentals technical indicators. Seeing large volume accumulations these two trading days. I repeat that it will be foolhardy for anyone to try and short these counters. Cheers
wah $1 !?!?! u sure can reach that high?? anyway CPO is up trend now from what i see...hee...
as long as CRUDE OIL is high...this burger got chance :D and the bio-fuel crap is still hot ! :D
