KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Wednesday.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures failed to hold on to earlier gains and inched down
on Tuesday as worries of plentiful supplies of rival edible oils alongside
rising palm oil production continued to pressure prices.
* Corn futures fell on Tuesday with the U.S. crop reported in the best shape in
two decades, reinforcing expectations of a record-large harvest.
* U.S. crude rose on Tuesday as supportive U.S. economic data overshadowed
concerns about slowed growth in other oil consuming economies and ample global
oil supplies.
MARKET NEWS
* Worldwide stock indexes rose modestly on Tuesday and European bond yields fell
on expectations of more stimulus from the European Central Bank, while strong
U.S. data on durable goods and consumer confidence underpinned U.S
shares.
