The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a second day on Friday, tracking overnight trading of
comparative oils higher, as a falling ringgit offered some support to the commodity.
* U.S. soybean futures dropped on Friday as favorable rains were expected to move into the U.S.
Midwest, finishing with a big weekly loss.
* U.S. crude oil edged higher after falling to a fresh 6-1/2-year low on Friday, posting a
seventh weekly loss amid concerns over global oversupply, while Brent futures slipped as the
front-month September contract approached expiration.
MARKET NEWS
* Equities on world bourses ended the week lower on Friday after China’s currency devaluation on
Tuesday shook investors, though volatility declined late in the week, suggesting markets had
absorbed Beijing’s surprising actions.
