KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Monday Dec 10.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures closed lower on Friday, falling for a second week, weighed down by weakness in related edible oils and crude oil.
* U.S. soybean futures firmed for the fifth time in six sessions on Friday on solid weekly export sales data and short-covering ahead of the weekend as the market waited for signs that China may soon resume purchases from the United States.
