Palm Oil May Remain Volatile in Near Term -- Market Talk

0120 GMT - Crude palm oil prices may remain volatile in the near-term, amid trade tensions and Indonesia's B50 biodiesel mandate, RHB IB analysts Hoe Lee Leng and Iftaar Hakim Rusli say in a note. As China refrains from buying U.S. soybeans, high global soybean stocks and narrowing CPO-soybean oil price gaps may weigh on demand, they say. The two oils often move in tandem due to their usage in similar products. However, a potential La Nina could tighten supply and support prices, and Indonesia's B50 biodiesel mandate could be the biggest price catalyst, they add. RHB remains neutral on the sector, and pegs Johor Plantations, IOI Corp., SD Guthrie, Sarawak Oil Palms, London Sumatra Indonesia and First Resources as its top picks. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
