VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Dec 2
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Tuesday, reversing gains made in early trade, as traders
expect high inventories and weak export demand ahead of government data.
* U.S. soybean futures climbed to a one-month high on Tuesday, supported by bargain buying in
soymeal and concerns that a slowing U.S. soy crushing pace might tighten supplies of the animal
feed ingredient, analysts said.
* Crude prices dipped in early Asian trading hours on Wednesday as U.S. stockpiles rose against
expectations, compounding a glut that is seeing hundreds of thousands barrels of oil being
produced every day in excess of demand.
MARKET NEWS
* U.S. stocks closed higher on Tuesday despite mixed U.S. economic data as treasury yields and
the dollar declined while oil prices were choppy ahead of an OPEC meeting later this week.
