The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures ended Friday’s trading lower, posting its eighth consecutive weekly
loss as another wave of China growth worries hit global commodity markets.
* U.S. grain and soybean futures fell on Friday as investor jitters about China’s economy
continued to cool confidence in commodity markets and early data from a recent industry crop
tour showed strong yield potential in the western Corn Belt.
* U.S. oil prices traded below $ 40 a barrel for the first time since the 2009 financial crisis,
ending 2 percent lower on Friday on signs of U.S. oversupply and weak Chinese manufacturing and
notching the longest weekly losing streak in almost three decades.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian stocks and oil fell on Monday after Wall Street suffered another bruising blow as
deepening concerns over the slowing Chinese economy continued to unnerve global equity markets.
