The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures dropped on Thursday due to market corrections and a strengthening
ringgit.
* U.S. corn futures fell for a third day on Thursday as the harvest of an expected bumper crop
expanded, but price movement was restrained as markets digested a Federal Reserve decision to
leave U.S. interest rates unchanged.
* Global oil futures fell Thursday, resuming their slide after a brief spike following the
Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would leave U.S. interest rates unchanged.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares are likely to fall on Friday after the U.S. Federal Reserve held off on raising
interest rates, reviving concerns about global economic weakness.
