08/06/2015 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Friday, reversing losses from the morning session thanks to a boost from bullish technicals and underpinned by a weak ringgit to clock their biggest weekly rise in four months.

* U.S. corn, wheat and soybean futures fell on Friday on end-of-week profit-taking and technical selling, traders said. It was the first time all three commodities posted losses on the same day since May 26.

* Oil staged its first rally in three days on Friday, gaining 2 percent, despite warnings of more oversupply as a result of OPEC's decision to keep pumping crude without restraint.

MARKET NEWS

* Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields posted their steepest weekly jump in nearly two years and the dollar hit a 13-year high against the yen on Friday after jobs growth suggested the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates sooner than expected.
