The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures ticked lower on Monday, extending losses into a seventh week as
traders remained cautious over trade and production data released on Monday, despite signs that
shipments from the world’s second-largest producer increased this month.
* Chicago Board of Trade corn and soybean futures climbed to two-week highs on Monday amid
concerns about stressful hot weather in the United States and Europe coupled with positioning
ahead of a monthly U.S. government crop report, traders said.
* Oil jumped almost 4 percent on Monday after a rally in U.S. gasoline and diesel due to a
refinery outage helped crude futures advance from multi-month lows.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian stocks swung higher on Tuesday as a periodic revival in investor risk appetite led to a
bounce in beaten-down commodities and a small step back for the U.S. dollar.
