4.

5. BMD CPO 3-Month Active Futures, MYR/MT Review of 2013 Glob oil Outlook

6. Brent outlook

7. Future SnD – Seasonal demand surge followed by weakness in JFM 2015 • SnD balance till now: • Demand growth in China and EU has been rather subdued, while US has seen sustained demand growth • Oversupplied market conditions due to the ramping up of supply from Libya and Iraq despite violence situation in the region • Rising crude oil production in the US was the major contributor for higher supply • Scenario ahead: • Seasonal higher demand to keep the markets tight in Q4 2014 before returning to surplus in early 2015 • Better demand outlook from EU gaining from strength in manufacturing sector and improvement in economic conditions in medium term • Stimulus support from Chinese government to boost housing and manufacturing sectors to boost demand • Volatile conditions in Libya which could disrupt supplies and possible supply cuts from OPEC producers in order to accommodate lower demand concerns and stabilize the prices

8. ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures Continuation, USD/BBL-Scenario-1 ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures price might correct towards 105 in October / November and might continue the down fall into 2015 in the form of primary wave ‘C’ with in Cycle wave ‘2’ where the high probable culmination point could be around USD 75-80 levels.

9. ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures Continuation, USD/BBL-Scenario-2 ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures price might correct towards 115 in OND’14 and might continue the down fall into 2015 in the form of primary wave ‘C’ with in Cycle wave ‘2’ where the high probable culmination point could be around USD 75-80 levels.

10. Soy Complex

11. US Bio diesel Tax credit …. • There is a clear correlation between the tax incentive and increased biodiesel production, which has grown from about 100 million gallons in 2005, when the tax incentive was first implemented, to almost 1.8 billion gallons in 2013.

12. CME Soy Oil Futures Continuation, Cents/lbs. According to Elliott wave analysis scenario II prices are likely to remain weak towards 30.00 cents as Primary Wave C Which is likely to conclude the Corrective Cycle Wave ‘2’ and then Impulse Move is expected towards 38 cents in the coming 4-6 months.

13. Global Soybean Balance Sheet • Ending stock of 14/15 is likely to grow by around 22.36 million tons due to higher production across the US & Brazil. • One has to keep in mind the supplies for October and November’14 and possible logistic challenges to ship out beans from US until south American crop.

14. CME Soybean Futures Continuation, Cents/bu. (Elliott wave analysis) The Minor wave (a) is on the verge of completion near 900-880 cents ahead of witnessing rebound towards 1150-1200 cents as Minor Wave (b) in the coming 5-6 months.

15. US soymeal & Chinese Soybean Booking…. • Higher booking of soymeal is mainly due to robust demand from price sensitive market like South East nations • Though China as itself has booked around 1.15 million tons lower than last year, but they have booked huge quantity under unknown destinations, thus keeping the overall import similar to that of last year.

16. CME Soymeal Futures Cont., USD/Short ton (Elliott wave analysis) Minor wave (a) is on the verge of completion near USD 300 ahead of witnessing rebound towards USD380-390 as Minor wave (b) in the coming 5-6 months . If 290 support breaks, look forward towards 250-270 range

17. Palm complex

18. CPO usage as feed stock in Biodiesel- Focus is shifting from destinations to Origins??? • Palm oil for biodiesel quantities has significantly increased, almost doubled in 4 years which has resulted in narrowing of spreads between palm and soy oils. • Enhanced usage of Palm oil and Soy oil in Biodiesel at Origins viz., Indonesia and Argentina focus has been shifting to origins. • Moving forward, amid ample supply anticipations for 2014/15 also, the origins continue to drive the demand dynamics.

19. Abundant soft oil supplies-pressurizing Palm prices Continued ample supply of other soft oils for 2014/15 also might keep the CPO discounts with other oils in the rage of $80 to $ 120/ per ton. Thus capping the upside price potential for palm oil

20. Other veg oils and Brent- Palm is still competitive Inspite of weakness in rival oil prices, CPO continues to be competitive with Brent crude. Thus resulting in higher margins for PME

21. Indonesia CPO versus Singapore Gas oil –Shifting focus to FOB Indonesia? Increasing CPO (FOB) discounts with Singapore Gas oil and CPO discount with Brent leading to improved Biodiesel Parity at Indonesia and also leading to enhanced PME margins at Rotterdam. While Singapore Gas oil price is interlinked to Brent, view on Brent and derived parties will continue to remain decisive

22. Brent Crude Vs BMD CPO • As of now, BMD at MYR 2118/Ton is competitive in energy segment. • Any change in Singapore gas oil prices is likely to shift the price floor from the biodiesel perspective.

23. Global CPO balance sheet • 2013/14 endings stocks are likely to remain lower at 8.12 ml tons which would bring down the S/C Ratio to 14.59% from 15.82% previous year. This fall in stocks coupled with forthcoming lower production months will be supportive for the prices in the short term. • Moving forward, stocks are anticipated to increase to 8.97 ml tons given higher production is realized..

However, price trading below INR 420 would negate this view and then lower price towards INR 390 is possible.

28. Indian Oil complex

29. Premiums of Indian meal denting export demand… • Higher premiums of Indian meal to CME quotes impacted exports historically • In 2013-14, the severity was higher due to china emerging as one of the major exporters of meal to South East Asian countries

30. China eating away the share in Indian meal exports (Oct-Aug Period) • Lion share in south east Asian soy meal imports is taken away by China last year • China emerging as a key competitor in the Asian continent
