The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures eased 0.14 percent on Monday, falling for a third consecutive
session to their lowest level since July 9 as poor exports and a stronger dollar dragged down
the market.
* Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures sank 3.4 percent on Monday to their lowest in more than
three weeks, the fifth straight losing session, on pressure from dollar strength and a pick-up
in the pace of harvest, traders said.
* Oil futures fell on Monday and U.S. crude slipped below $ 50 a barrel intraday as ample supply,
the prospect of more Iranian crude for export and a strengthening dollar combined to pressure
prices.
MARKET NEWS
* Gold prices plunged to their lowest in more than five years on Monday, at one point dropping 4
percent on aggressive selling out of China, while the U.S. dollar hit a three-month high on
expectations for higher U.S. interest rates.
