VEGOILS-Market factors to watch August 3

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

markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures edged down on Friday, reversing early gains to record their biggest

monthly drop since March, but losses were limited by a weaker ringgit and data showing Malaysian

exports fell less than expected this month.

* Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures fell on Friday, pressured by profit-taking and the

cancellation of an export deal with China, traders said.

* U.S. crude posted its biggest monthly drop since the 2008 financial crisis on Friday after a

string of losses in July triggered by China's stock market slump and signs that top Middle East

producers were pumping crude at record levels.

MARKET NEWS

* The dollar fell and benchmark U.S. Treasury yields touched multi-week lows on Friday as an

unexpectedly weak government reading of American labor costs dulled prospects for higher U.S.

interest rates.
