VEGOILS-Market factors to watch August 8
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures dipped on Monday evening, hitting a two-week low, on expectations
that official production data due later this week will show rising output in July.
* U.S. corn and soybean futures rose more than 1 percent on Monday on position-squaring ahead of
U.S. government crop reports due later this week, along with worries about dry conditions in
parts of the Midwest, traders said.
* Oil prices dipped on Monday as a rebound in production from Libya's largest oil field prompted
selling, and investors worried about higher output from OPEC and the United States.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares neared decade peaks on Tuesday thanks to optimism on the global economy and a
rash of records on Wall Street, while major currencies were becalmed ahead of Chinese trade
data.
