CPO Prices to Consolidate

CPO sharp rally tested the line connecting its previous peaks at RM3118. The last 2-3 days of correction brought CPO prices below its medium-term uptrend line at RM3010-3015. It is likely that the price correction may continue in the medium-term.

The sharp rally in CPO prices caused an upside breakout for Plant index at 6900 in early November. The ensuing rally brought Plant index to a high of 7900 in the final week of December last year. The last 3 weeks of correction has finally brought the Plant index below its medium-term uptrend line at 7550 last week. Unless CPO price recovers significantly next few days, Plant index is likely to go lower.

Based on the above, I expect plantation share prices to continue to correct in the near term.
