VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Oct 21
The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil
markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil gave up its early gains on Thursday, declining towards the end of the
trading day as rallies of rival vegetable oils on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange slowed and
palm export demand weakened.
* U.S. corn, soybean and wheat futures fell on Thursday, retreating from early advances as gains
in the U.S. dollar and a setback in crude oil triggered broad-based selling in commodities,
analysts said.
* Oil prices settled down more than 2 percent on Thursday, as a resurgent dollar encouraged
players to take profit on the previous day's rally that sent U.S. crude to 15-month highs.
MARKET NEWS
* The euro fell to a four-month low against the U.S. dollar on Thursday and the greenback rose
to its highest in seven months against a basket of major currencies after the European Central
Bank President left the door open to more monetary stimulus.
