The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures hit fresh 3-month lows on Wednesday, reversing a brief respite in a
sixth-straight day of declines during morning trading, as concerns over export demand outlook
for the edible oil triggered prices to fall further.
* U.S. soybeans rose for a second straight day on Wednesday, recovering some recent losses ahead
of a critical development period for the oilseed, while corn and wheat resumed their slides on a
favorable U.S. harvest outlook.
* Oil settled higher on Wednesday, recovering from multi-month lows, after U.S. government data
showed a surprisingly large crude stockpile draw that signaled the market may have been wrong in
predicting slumping demand for energy.
MARKET NEWS
* Global equity markets rose on Wednesday, lifted by strong U.S. and European corporate earnings
and a Federal Reserve statement that said the U.S. economy continues to strengthen, adding to
expectations an interest rate hike is getting closer.
