VEGOILS-Market factors to watch October 24
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and
other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures hit their highest in three days on Tuesday before
falling in the evening on declines in global markets and expectations of rising
October production.
* U.S. corn firmed slightly on Tuesday on light technical buying and a lack of
farmer hedging as farmers kept busy harvesting crops, analysts said.
* Oil prices on Tuesday extended falls from the previous day, when crude slumped
as much as 5 percent, after Saudi Arabia said it would make up for supply
disruptions from U.S. sanctions targeting Iran's petroleum exports from next
month.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian stocks edged up on Wednesday as a late round of buying helped Wall
Street indexes pare most of their earlier panic-driven losses, although crude
oil struggled near two-month lows after Saudi Arabia flagged possible supply
increases.
