07/04/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures dropped to their lowest level in nearly two weeks on Wednesday, hit by better-than-expected output forecasts and weak export demand.

* Chicago wheat fell on Wednesday to a nearly one-week low, pressured by a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report that revealed U.S. wheat was progressing faster than expected.

* Oil prices rose 5 percent on Wednesday, their biggest advance in three weeks, after the U.S. government reported a surprise draw in domestic crude stockpiles versus market expectations for a new record high.

MARKET NEWS

* Global equity markets posted solid gains on Wednesday, aided by a climb in oil prices and a surge in healthcare stocks, while the U.S. dollar hit a fresh 17-month low against the yen after the minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting.
