VEGOILS-Market factors to watch May 26
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Monday after touching their lowest level this
month, lifted by strong exports in the No.2 grower, but a delay to export levies in the world's
top producer Indonesia mounted some pressure onto the contract.
* U.S. grains and oilseeds fell more than 1 percent on Friday, with soybeans tumbling to the
lowest levels since October in a broad commodities selloff as the dollar rallied against a
basket of global currencies.
* Crude oil futures rose on Monday as firm global demand offset a strong dollar, although a
holiday in the United States and much of Europe kept trading muted.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares fell in early trading on Tuesday, while the dollar held near highs scaled in
holiday-thinned trading in the previous session.
