The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a third session this week, tracking poor performing rival
vegetable oils and on bearish local sentiment, driven by rising output and weak export demand.
* U.S. corn futures rose 1.9 percent on Thursday, with concerns about crops in South America
spurring export demand for U.S. supplies, traders said.
* Oil markets jumped 2 percent on Thursday, hitting 2016 highs for a third straight day as a
weaker dollar had investors shrugging off record high U.S. crude inventories and relentless
pumping by major producers.
