Technically there is one more surge to 1900 level to complete the sub-wave v of wave 5.

The price of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) so far does not follow the soybeans price movement. Since early June, the soybeans has moved from $1,250/bu. to the current level of above $1,600/bu., whereas the CPO price has moved from above Rm3,000/ton to the current level of around Rm2,750/ton during the same period. The earning of plantation stocks of Bursa Malaysia will remain flat at best.
