VEGOILS-Market factors to watch August 16

In this article:

The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and

other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Wednesday to their lowest in nearly two

weeks in the second half of trade, tracking losses in U.S. soyoil and on weak

export demand.

* U.S. grains and oilseed futures fell on Wednesday, pressured by broad selling

in commodities and equities as a firmer dollar prompted worries about export

prospects for American supplies, traders and analysts said.

* Oil futures slid on Wednesday, with U.S. crude settling 3 percent lower after

government data showed a surprise weekly increase in domestic crude stockpiles,

compounding worries about the global economic growth outlook.

MARKET NEWS

* Equities around the world took a dive led by emerging market stocks on

Wednesday and commodities tumbled as investors looked for safety due to worries

about China and Turkey.
