KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Friday July 24.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures declined in quiet trading on Thursday, extending losses into a
second session after declines in competing markets, potential Russian limits on the use of the
tropical oil and concerns over recent export data.
* U.S. soybean futures fell on Thursday as improving weather in major Midwest growing areas
increased expectations of ample production, traders said.
* Brent crude oil futures settled at its lowest since April on Thursday and U.S. crude fell into
bear market territory and ended below $49 a barrel for the first time since late March, as
persistent concerns about ample supply and shaky demand offset support from the dollar's
weakness.
MARKET NEWS
* Wall Street stocks dropped for a third day on Thursday, sagging under weak corporate profit
reports that left the Dow Jones industrials index in the red for 2015, while strong U.S. labor
market data supported a weak dollar.
