However, continuous fall in energy markets is weighing on the edible oil complex. CPO active month February futures moved lower as expected. As cautioned in the previous update, break of important support at Malaysian ringgit (MYR) 2,180/tonne could see prices testing next important support near MYR 2,135-40 levels immediately followed by MYR 2,100 levels.

Resistances are seen near MYR 2,200-25/tonne levels now. Immediate support is at MYR 2,145-50 levels and failure to hold support here could drag prices further to recent lows or even lower to MYR 2,075 levels being a trend line support point.
