18/04/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Friday, a fourth market session of falls in the week, weighed down by declining rival oils and expectations of higher output in April.

* U.S. corn futures hit a four-month high on Friday as concern about summer weather risk in the Midwest and dry conditions in Brazil prompted investors to cover short positions, analysts said.

* Oil prices tumbled 5 percent early on Monday after a meeting by major producers in Qatar fell apart on Sunday, leaving the world awash with unwanted fuel.

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares dropped on Monday, dragged down by tumbling crude oil futures after producers' weekend talks failed to address the global supply glut.
