The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Tuesday as global crude oil prices tumbled to 12-year lows
this week, with declining production data from a government body doing little to boost market
sentiment.
* U.S. grain prices rallied on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture slashed its
estimate of winter wheat seedings by more than anticipated and unexpectedly cut its corn and
soybean production view.
* Oil fell briefly below the widely watched $ 30-per-barrel level on Tuesday, extending a selloff
that has sliced almost 20 percent off prices this year amid deepening concerns about fragile
Chinese demand and the absence of output restraint.
MARKET NEWS
* U.S. and European stock investors bought beaten-down shares on Tuesday, at least temporarily
looking past another steep drop in oil prices that briefly sent U.S. crude below $ 30 a barrel.
