VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Apr 17
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and
other vegetable oil markets on Monday.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains to hit their highest in three weeks
on Wednesday after better-than-expected economic data from China soothed fears
about slowing demand from the world's second-largest consumer of the tropical
oil.
* U.S. soybean futures rallied for the third day in a row on Wednesday to reach
a nine-month high, drawing strength from data released earlier in the week that
showed appetite for the oilseed remained strong at domestic crushers, traders
said.
* Brent crude rose toward $110 a barrel on Wednesday on mounting tensions in
Ukraine, while prices for U.S. oil were nearly unchanged after a report showed a
huge build in stockpiles, which canceled out geopolitical concerns.
MARKET NEWS
* Global equity markets advanced broadly on Wednesday after China reported
growth that beat expectations, providing relief to investors worried about the
Chinese economy, while the dollar eased on the growing view the Federal Reserve
will keep interest rates lower than normal for a few years.MKTS/GLOB]
* Commodities had the best quarter in 18 months as trading for March ended on
Monday, with weather and economic growth likely to determine if gas, gold,
grains, lean hogs and coffee continue going higher and draw money into the
space.
