VEGOILS-Market factors to watch April 27

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

markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures failed to hold on to early gains and ended lower on Friday due to a

strong ringgit, but anticipation over firm demand limited losses and lifted the tropical oil to

its second straight weekly rise.

* U.S. corn futures dropped to a five-month low on Friday in a fifth straight losing session on

expectations for a rapid advance in corn planting as forecasters expect mostly clear weather

across the Midwest in the coming days.

* Oil prices diverged on Friday, with Brent hitting 4-1/2-month highs on continued fighting in

Yemen as U.S. crude fell on concerns of another upcoming stock build, though both benchmarks

headed toward weekly gains.

MARKET NEWS

* Equity markets worldwide climbed to record highs on Friday as solid corporate earnings and an

all-time peak for the Nasdaq stock index stoked investor optimism, while the dollar eased on

gloomy U.S. economic data.
