VIEW PROFILE
This paper reviews the nature of links or relationships between crude, palm oil prices and stocks and its short term implications on the palm oil price trend in 2012. An econometric method is used to empirically forecast the palm oil price movements in the year 2012 using monthly historical data over the period of January 2002 to December 2011. A single equation model using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) procedure was estimated to achieve the stated objective. The results provide a strong evidence of long-run equilibrium relation between crude palm oil price, its stock level and the crude oil prices. The study uses the findings to provide projections for the palm oil prices during 2012.
