VEGOILS-Market factors to watch April 11

The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and

other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures ended lower on Thursday after an industry report

showed that stocks in world's second-largest grower unexpectedly rose, and as a

firm ringgit continued to drag on prices.

* Soybeans sagged as Chinese defaults on purchases of U.S. and Brazilian

soybeans triggered a fresh round of profit-taking, one day after the market set

an 8-1/2-month high.

* Global crude oil drifted modestly lower on Thursday, pressured by weaker

economic data from China as well as the prospect of a rebound in oil exports

from Libya

MARKET NEWS

* Wall Street stocks tumbled on Thursday as investors exited technology and

biotech shares, extending recent weakness and knocking the Nasdaq down by more

than 3 percent.
