KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

closed 1 percent lower on Thursday, after touching its lowest

level in more than a week, tracking losses in global stocks and

commodities markets.

European stocks slumped to a more than 18-month low on

Thursday after Wall Street's worst loss in eight months

triggered a sell-off in global shares.

Oil prices also fell to two-week lows as global stock

markets fell, with investor sentiment taking a further hit after

an industry report showed U.S. crude inventories rose more than

expected.

Palm oil prices are impacted by crude oil's movement, as the

edible oil is used as feedstock to make biodiesel.

The benchmark palm oil contract for December delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange ended 1.1

percent lower at 2,170 ringgit ($521.89) a tonne.

It earlier fell to 2,153 ringgit, its weakest level since

October 2.

Trading volumes stood at 32,903 lots of 25 tonnes each at

the end of the trading day. (1FCPO-TOT)

"Palm is tracking the global sell-off in stock markets and

weakness in crude oil prices," said a Kuala Lumpur-based futures

trader.

In other related oils, the Chicago December soybean oil

contract edged down 0.6 percent while the January soybean

oil contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange fell 1.7

percent.

The Dalian January palm oil contract declined 1.7

percent.

Palm oil prices are affected by movements of other edible

oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils

market.

Palm oil may fall more into a range of 2,162-2,171 ringgit

per tonne, as suggested by a projection analysis, said Reuters

market analyst for commodities and energy technicals, Wang Tao.
