Malaysian palm oil market factors to watch Wednesday Oct 19


Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains, touching a two-week high on Wednesday on improving demand amid expectations of further weakness in the ringgit.

* U.S. soybean futures fell for the first time in four sessions on Tuesday, pressured by a weak cash market and by profit-taking after hitting a 3-1/2-week high earlier in the session, traders said.

* Oil prices rose early on Wednesday, pushed up by a report of a fall in U.S. crude inventories and an OPEC statement saying a planned production cut was achievable, although analysts warned that Chinese economic data could erode the bullish momentum.
