VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch April 28
28/04/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and othervegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures declined to their lowest levels in nearly two weeks on Wednesday evening, as the ringgit MYR= recovered from a one-week low against the dollar and as traders cashed in on slow exports and improving output.
* U.S. corn and wheat futures fell on Wednesday, setting back from two days of gains on profit taking as speculators locked in gains on recent short-covering rallies, traders said.
* Oil prices jumped about 3 percent on Wednesday, hitting new highs for 2016 as the dollar weakened after the Federal Reserve announced it would leave U.S. interest rates unchanged.
MARKET NEWS
* The dollar and U.S. stock futures edged up in the wake of the U.S. Federal Reserve's statement that offered few clues on its monetary policy outlook, but moves were slight as investors awaited the Bank of Japan's policy decision.
