VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Oct 24
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil closed higher on Friday, reversing earlier losses, as traders squared
positions ahead of the weekend and as low stock levels supported the market.
* Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures rose on Friday on technical buying, bucking pressure
from the harvest of a record-large U.S. soy crop and a strengthening dollar.
* Oil settled up on Friday on hopes Russia and OPEC will reach agreement at the weekend on
market support initiatives to keep crude above $50 a barrel, although traders cautioned about
pressure from a double-digit rise in the U.S. oil rig count.
MARKET NEWS
* The dollar rose to its highest since early February against a basket of currencies on Friday
as investors increased bets on higher U.S. interest rates, while a measure of world stocks
posted its first weekly gain in four weeks despite some soft U.S. corporate results.
