21/09/2015 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures dropped on Friday as news of India's import tax hike on crude and refined vegetable oils dampened market sentiment.

* U.S. soybean futures fell on Friday and were down about 0.8 percent for the week as farmers prepared to harvest a bumper crop in the Midwest, traders said.

* Oil prices tumbled on Friday, with U.S. crude falling 5 percent, after a selloff in Wall Street equities offset the positive impact of a third weekly decline in the U.S. oil rig count.

MARKET NEWS

* Stocks on major markets slipped on Friday and bond prices rose, pushing yields sharply lower, after the U.S. Federal Reserve on Thursday clung to its near-zero interest rate policy with global economic growth slowing.
