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 fell for a second day on Monday, as a modest rise
in Malaysian palm oil export figures in the first half of December and weakness
in the ringgit were offset by weakness in crude oil prices.
* Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures rose 2 percent on Monday on a mix of
chart-based buying and uncertainty over Russian grain export policy, traders
said.
* Crude prices plunged further on Monday after OPEC once again said it will not
cut oil output despite fears of a glut, and a UAE official opposed holding an
emergency meeting of the producer group to support prices.
MARKET NEWS
* Oil prices continued to slide on Tuesday, while the rouble jumped against the
dollar after Russia sharply hiked its benchmark interest rate to halt a collapse
in its currency.
