KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Friday June 26.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures closed lower on Thursday, retreating from a one-week high as
investors turned cautious over fading export demand, though a weak ringgit currency limited
losses.
* U.S. corn futures hit their highest level in two months and soybeans topped $10 a bushel on
Thursday on concerns about excessive rains in the Midwest curbing yield prospects, traders said.
* Crude oil fell for a second straight day on Thursday, weighed by weaker U.S. refined fuels
markets and potential negative impact from Greece's debt crisis on European energy demand.
MARKET NEWS
* Global stock markets and oil prices edged lower on Thursday on lingering worries over Greece,
though a Supreme Court ruling upholding tax subsidies drove U.S. hospital stocks to record
highs.
