KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Tuesday.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures stretched losses into a second session on Monday to
hit a more than one-week low, weighed down by falls in competing markets
overseas and further technical correction.
* U.S. corn and soy futures fell to four-year lows on Monday, pressured by
favorable weather for record harvests in the United States and a rising dollar
that made the supplies less competitive in global markets.
* Crude oil futures fell on Monday as ample supply and slowing economic growth
in Europe and China outweighed expectations of a cut in oil output from the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
MARKET NEWS
* Concern about a potential economic slowdown in China pressured world stock
indexes on Monday and helped pushed Brent crude oil below $97 a barrel. Emerging
markets sank, with the MSCI Emerging Market index .MSCIEF falling 1.3 percent,
its biggest daily percentage drop since March. The dollar rose against the
Australian dollar.
