KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Friday June 19.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell more than 2 percent on Thursday in the biggest drop in three
months as the ringgit advanced and competing soyoil markets overseas weighed on sentiment.
* U.S. soybean futures rose for the third day in a row on Thursday, touching their highest in
more than five weeks on concerns that dry weather will arrive too late to allow for planting in
rain-soaked areas of the Midwest, traders said.
* Oil prices settled up for a third straight day on Thursday, boosted by a slipping dollar and
reports that data showed a draw in crude this week at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for
U.S. crude futures.
MARKET NEWS
* Stock markets around the world rallied on Thursday, while the U.S. dollar fell, a day after
the Federal Reserve signalled that interest rates would rise more slowly than many had
expected.
