VEGOILS-Market factors to watch December 8
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and
other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures extended falls into a fourth session on Thursday,
hitting their lowest in nearly five months in the evening, tracking weakness in
related edible oils.
* Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures slid to contract lows on Thursday, their
fourth straight day of declines, on continued pressure from a Canadian report
that showed harvest in that country was bigger than expected.
* Oil prices climbed more than 1 percent on Thursday due to a threatened strike
in Nigeria and as traders cover shorts after sharp losses the previous day
brought on by an unexpectedly large rise in U.S. stocks of refined fuels.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares rallied for a second session on Friday as investors awaited
major economic data from China and the United States while marvelling at the
meteoric ascent of the market's new crypto-star, bitcoin.
