VEGOILS-Palm slips on weaker related oils

KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures slipped in early trade on Tuesday, tracking weaker related edible oils on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and China's Dalian Commodity Exchange. The benchmark palm oil contract for October delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was last down 0.7% at 1,975 ringgit ($480.77) per tonne. U.S. soyoil futures on the CBOT was down 0.2%, while the September soyoil contract on the Dalian exchange slipped 0.1%. FUNDAMENTALS * U.S. corn futures fell 1% on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the condition of North American crops was better than expected, easing fears that production will fall short of official forecasts. * Oil prices fell for a second day as more production facilities returned to operation in the U.S. Gulf after Hurricane Barry swept through over the weekend, while Chinese economic data dimmed the outlook for crude demand. MARKET NEWS * Asian shares inched up as traders awaited U.S. retail sales data and more corporate earnings to gauge the health of the world's biggest economy, with markets remaining focused on a likely U.S. rate cut by the end of the month. * The benchmark S&P 500 index ended little changed on Monday after oscillating between positive and negative territory throughout the session after Citigroup Inc kicked off the earnings season with a mixed quarterly report. * The pound struggled near a six-month low against the dollar on Tuesday hampered by persistent worries over Brexit that, in turn, weighed on the euro.
