VEGOILS-Market factors to watch August 27
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures traded higher on Thursday after six sessions of losses, tracking
global equity and commodities markets and as the recent selloff brought down palm prices to an
attractive level for buyers.
* Benchmark U.S. soybean futures rose 1.5 percent on Thursday as equity markets stabilized in
China, the world's top soy buyer, and on outlooks for dry weather as the U.S. Midwest growing
season winds down, traders said.
* Oil rocketed more than 10 percent higher on Thursday, posting its biggest one-day rally in
over six years as recovering equity markets and news of diminished crude supplies set off a
short-covering scramble by bearish traders.
MARKET NEWS
* Stock markets around the world rallied on Thursday, shaking off a slump related to China
growth fears, as strong U.S. economic data boosted investor sentiment and crude oil rebounded
sharply.
