01/03/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Monday, extending gains for a third session, as traders expect to see inventories dip below the 2 million tonne mark at the end of February.

* Chicago Board of Trade corn futures fell on Monday for a fifth straight session, retreating from early advances as concerns about weak demand pressured the market, traders said.

* U.S. crude oil prices were steady in early Asian trading on Tuesday after lower domestic production as well as dipping output from OPEC tightened the market just as China further eased its monetary policy in a bid to boost consumption.

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares rose slightly in early trade on Tuesday, with sentiment bolstered by China's easing move and gains in oil prices but also constrained by lacklustre U.S. and European data that kept concerns about global growth momentum alive.
