CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil futures were higher Friday on stronger overnight Chicago Soybean Oil futures, but down a lot for the week. Futures were lower today on word that the Indonesian government was considering reducing its export taxes. Some of the weakness on the weekly charts came with a change in the front months, but part of the weakness was on ideas of weaker demand and potentially stronger production. Demand has been less so far this month and the market fears the loss of Indian demand due to the big Coronavirus outbreak in India that could cut demand. However, prices are very high in India and imports are needed. Canola closed sharply lower on weather concerns and Chicago price action. Some showers, but a lot of dry weather, is in the forecast for the Prairies this week and it remains generally dry. Demand has backed off with the collapse in world vegetable oils prices. Soybean Oil was sharply lower in response to ideas that the current government might offer some waivers to the industry and cut demand for bio fuels. There are many who think this will not happen, but many who are worried it will.
Overnight News: SGS said that Malaysian Palm Oil exports are now 962,184 tons, up 11% from last month. AmSpec said that exports are now 937,135 tons, down about 1.8% from last month.

Trends in Palm Oil are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 3250, 3230, and 3200 September, with resistance at 3550, 3590, and 3750 September.

Midwest Weather Forecast: Mostly dry north and west, showers and storms south and east. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
