KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Friday
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil weakened further on Thursday after export data from the
world's second-largest producer and declines in competing bean oil markets
weighed on prices, but a weaker ringgit provided some support.
* U.S. corn and soybean futures jumped as much as 2 percent on Thursday,
rebounding from two-week lows reached in the previous session, in a rally tied
to technical buying and renewed export demand for the crops.
* Oil closed higher on Thursday, snapping a three-day loss, as strong U.S.
economic data bolstered crude markets but focus remained on whether OPEC will
cut output to end a five-month long selloff when it meets next week.
MARKET NEWS
* World stock markets slipped on Thursday on signs the Chinese and European
economies were cooling, while Japan's yen slid to seven-year lows against the
dollar amid expectations of more Japanese stimulus.
