The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures hit a near three-week high on Monday after a drop in early trade
helped by exports and a weaker ringgit.
* Chicago wheat edged higher after touching a five-year low on Friday, and corn also inched up
as investors covered short positions in both grains after recent declines.
* Oil fell more than 3 percent on Monday, hit by weaker Chinese equities and record North Sea
crude production data that added to global oversupply concerns.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares looked set to struggle on Tuesday to defend the three-year trough hit last month
as investors sought more signs of stability in China’s slowing economy and volatile financial
markets.
