Yahoo Finance VEGOILS-Palm oil edges up in early trade
KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures opened higher
on Thursday, edging up to a three-session top. The benchmark palm oil contract
for July delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was last
up 0.1 percent at 2,173 ringgit ($525.77) a tonne.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures recovered from earlier losses to close flat on
Wednesday, helped by gains in U.S. soyoil and prospects of improving export
demand.
* Chicago soybean futures edged higher on Thursday after suffering losses for
the last three sessions, triggered by dismal prospects for U.S. exports and
abundant world supplies.
* Oil prices dipped on Thursday as record U.S. output and rising crude
stockpiles dampened the impact on markets of tighter U.S. sanctions on Iran and
producer club OPEC's continued curbs on supply.
MARKET NEWS
* Asian shares slipped on Thursday as a surprise deterioration in German
business morale rekindled fears of slowing global growth, while oil prices
pulled back slightly after a sharp run-up earlier in the week.
* The euro nursed losses against the dollar on Thursday after dipping to a
22-month low on a surprise drop in a leading indicator for economic activity in
Germany, amplifying worries of a growth slowdown in Europe's largest economy.
* The S&P 500 slipped on Wednesday after ending the previous session with
a record and the Nasdaq failed to hold all-time highs reached earlier in
the day while investors waited for more earnings reports.
