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 seventh straight session on Monday to
hit their lowest in nearly seven-and-a-half months, as weak soyoil prices and
disappointing export data dragged on the tropical oil.
* U.S. soybean futures rose on Monday on signs of strong export demand that
threatened to further deplete thin U.S. supplies, traders said.
* Brent and U.S. crude oil futures fell in choppy trading on Monday, weighed on
by a stronger dollar and recent data showing rising OPEC oil production.
MARKET NEWS
* Nikkei led Asian shares higher on Tuesday, supported by solid U.S. and Chinese
manufacturing data, while the euro dragged its feet near a 3 1/2-month low on
expectations of fresh monetary easing by the European Central Bank.
