VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Feb 10
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and
other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Monday after a 4-day winning streak,
traders said, with concerns over sluggish export demand in February adding
pressure.
* U.S. corn and soybean futures edged higher on Monday, lifted by investor
short-covering and position-squaring ahead of the monthly U.S. Department of
Agriculture supply and demand report due on Tuesday.
* Oil jumped for a third straight session on Monday as OPEC forecast greater
demand for crude this year than previously thought and projected less supply
from countries outside the producer group.
MARKET NEWS
* Stock indexes worldwide slipped on Monday on fears of Greece leaving the euro
zone and concerns over conflict in Ukraine, while oil prices surged after an
optimistic demand forecast from OPEC.
