VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch Jan 16
16/01/2015 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Thursday after a recent climb in crude oil, with prices underpinned by concerns over a squeeze in the tropical oil's supply as the No.2 grower braces for monsoon rains over the Borneo region.
* U.S. soybeans reversed earlier gains to fall 2 percent on Thursday, pressured by a steep downturn in soymeal futures and smaller-than-expected private crushing data.
* Oil prices declined on Thursday as an erratic dollar and expectations of weakening demand dashed hopes that a strong rally Wednesday might have signaled a bottom to the seven-month price rout.
MARKET NEWS
* Switzerland's move to jettison a three-year-old cap on the franc threw global markets into turmoil on Thursday, sending the currency and most European shares soaring while bond yields and Swiss equities tumbled.
