VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Apr 26
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures ended flat on Wednesday evening, previously charting two earlier
sessions of declines, as it traded in a tight range due to lacklustre export data.
* U.S. corn futures rallied to a nine-month peak and wheat rose to its highest in nearly seven
weeks on Wednesday, supported by a round of short-covering amid persistent concerns about
adverse weather curtailing harvest expectations for both grains, traders said.
* Oil prices rose on Wednesday despite data showing rising U.S. inventories, holding within
sight of three-year highs reached the previous day on geopolitical tensions including the
prospect of fresh sanctions on Iran.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian stocks edged up on Thursday as robust corporate earnings helped Wall Street quell
concerns over a surge in U.S. bond yields, while the dollar hovered near three-month highs
against a basket of currencies.
