VIEW PROFILE
This paper is in continuation to paper published & presented in November 2015 at PORAM Annual Forum, Malaysia. Titled "Future of Palm Oil : During the time of War (Currency War)". Wherein, paper discussed How countries used & still using Monetary Tools as one of the war tactics in battlefield which is not pre-defined to protect its self interest in turn creating ripple effect in global economies, Relationship between currency and its impact on commodities specifically to Palm Oil. Further to that it listed out Nine factors which will be key determinants in 2016 for markets and finally concluding with ECG for monitoring the health of Edible Oil & Oilseeds (ie)EL Nino , China & Greece.

Economist John Maynard Keynes stated "When the facts change, I change my mind"

Post paper presented in November 2015 there has not been major change in global market dynamics, in fact market has just moved in the way it was expected and the WAR has got more intensified as more players has entered the battlefield. Adhering with Mr. Keynes statement looks like we need not change our mind yet as current markets are in sync with prognosis presented in earlier paper.

Current paper would validate the status of on-going WAR by looking in the performance of key currencies, its impact on commodities post which it would revisit Nine factors listed in previous paper & evaluate its standing in current market scenario. Finally concluding with events to be watchful about and analysing the market structure of palm oil thereafter estimating the price forecasts for commodities & key currencies for current year.
