Like all commodities, the supply and demand scenario influences the decision making process of the market which in turn dictates the price movements of the said commodities.
More so if the decision making process is determined by major producing and consuming countries of the said commodities.
For palm oil, it is no different. Trading and marketing of palm oil by Indonesia and Malaysia, the two largest global producers of palm oil, are very much influenced by its supply availability and the market demand for the products especially from major importing countries like India and China which influence palm oil price direction.
Knowing and understanding factors such as oils & fats situation in these producing and consuming countries are crucial for the decision making process and influences supply and demand for crude palm oil (CPO) and palm products and its prices.
The ability to be well informed improves the decision making process, reduces and mitigates risk based on unfounded rumours and news.
This presentation addresses influencing factors that dictate palm oil prices from major importing countries; India and China.
The outline of the presentation consists of oils & fats situation in these countries, the analysis of the relationship between palm oil demand and the possible direction and projection of palm oil prices for the first half of 2017.
