SINGAPORE: Palm oil may retreat into a range of 4,008 ringgit to 4,048 ringgit per tonne before resuming its uptrend.

The retracement is due to a switch of the expired May contract to the June contract, which closed at 3,988 ringgit on March 12.

The direct effect of this backwardation is a sudden correction on the continuous chart, which is interpreted as a part of the zigzagging rally within a rising channel.

The uptrend will remain intact.

A common gap is expected to form on Monday, which would be totally covered.

On the daily chart, the contract happened to become weak around a resistance at 4,131 ringgit, as confirmed by the doji on March 12.

This weakness is technically responsible for a fall towards 4,026 ringgit.
