-Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Monday to their lowest closing in over two weeks, weighed down by lacklustre global demand and weaker crude as traders shrugged off data indicating tightening inventories.
-Market got some support from the resumption of Chinese palm oil buying on Friday but other destinations were lacking charm.
A further retracement lower is still in play. A reversal on Friday may turn out to be only a manipulation. The move higher might only be to fill up the gap at 4300 area before continuing lower. 4200 is the area where price should be next week. Expecting a consolidation in this area before the next move higher. Overall still bullish until proven otherwise.
In today's video I just go over some of my general thoughts about the corn market and some of its current technical and fundamental factors that I believe are driving the market. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more! :)

What more is there to say about the corn market that hasn’t been said already? The market remains range bound with daily ranges shrinking as of late, reminiscent of watching paint dry.
