KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Wednesday September 30.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures surged for a sixth day in a row to new 15-month highs on Tuesday,
bolstered by bullish analyst forecasts, a weakening ringgit and expectations recent dry weather
and haze will curb crop output.
* Chicago soybean and corn futures rebounded on Tuesday as traders covered short positions on
concerns that the U.S. Agriculture Department would reduce its estimate for last year's soybean
crop.
* Crude oil futures fell in early Asian trade on Wednesday after U.S. inventories showed a
weekly buildup that far exceeded analyst expectations.
MARKET NEWS
* Most Asian stock markets steadied on Wednesday after sliding to 3-year lows but a weak outlook
for commodities and persistent concerns about China's economy discouraged most
buyers.
