VEGOILS-Market factors to watch November 17
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Thursday after five consecutive sessions of declines on a
technical correction, and with support from overnight gains in Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT)
soyoil.
* U.S. corn futures fell to new contract lows for the third straight day on Thursday as
lower-than-expected weekly export sales and abundant supplies weighed on the market.
* Oil prices ended lower again on Thursday on increased concerns about growth in U.S. production
and inventories, despite expectations that major world producers will extend a supply-cut deal
later this month.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares rose on Friday as strong U.S. earnings and a step forward in the U.S. Congress on
tax reform brightened the mood, even though investors noted that many more hurdles must be
passed to reach a final deal on tax cuts.
