The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures extended earlier losses to fall more than 4 percent on Monday as
the tropical oil tracked other global markets lower on concerns about the Chinese economy.
* U.S. soybean futures dropped to their lowest levels in over six years on Monday and soyoil
touched a nine-year low as concerns about China’s faltering economy fueled selloffs in
commodities and equities markets.
* Oil’s weeks-long slump accelerated sharply on Monday with prices tumbling as much as 6 percent
to fresh 6-1/2-year lows as a renewed dive in the Chinese equities market sent global financial
markets into a tailspin.
MARKET NEWS
* A near-9 percent dive in China shares sent world stocks and commodity prices tumbling on
Monday, and U.S. stocks ended a volatile day with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite indexes
sliding into correction territory.
