05/06/2015 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Friday June 5.
   
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Thursday in anticipation the ringgit will continue to retreat and on market talk the world's biggest edible oil consumer India will ramp up purchases of refined palm oil.
* Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures jumped 2.3 percent on Thursday, posting their third gain in the last four sessions as some weather concerns provided the impetus for traders to cover short positions.
* Crude prices tumbled almost 3 percent for a second day on Thursday ahead of an OPEC decision likely to keep the market oversupplied and on worry rising European bond yields could tighten the speculative money swirling in oil.
   
MARKET NEWS
* A bond market selloff that had shaken financial market confidence waned on Thursday but U.S. stocks slumped on concerns strong economic data could boost interest rates in the near term.
